Title:Dominican Republic: Us Troops In Santo Domingo
Date:9th May 1965
Summary:In the capital of the Dominican Republic, Santo Domingo, on May 9 1965, American paratroops were on patrol. They were in the republic ostensibly to help evacuate American citizens caught in a civil war which had flared up two weeks earlier. But President Johnson ordered the paratroops to remain in the country to prevent what he called a threatened takeover by communist insurgents.
