He and his men were greet by the first inhabitants on the island the Taino Tribe. Descendants of the Awawakan Indian Tribe in the Amazionia they were a friendly and peaceful people. Columbus was amazed at this island paradise he saw before him, with its lush mountains and its sparkling rivers. He proclaimed it to be "the most beautiful land that human eyes had ever seen. In 1493 the first permanent settlement was established at La Isabelle on the north coast not far from where Puerto Plata resides today. The location was an excellent spot to export the gold that was found in the Cibao River a short distance away. By 1496 gold was discovered in the Ozama River Valley on the south coast of the island and Bartholow Columbus who was appointed governor while his brother (Christopher Columbus) continue his exploration of the Caribbean, traveled south and established the city of Santo Domingo. Soon afterwards, the colony became very jealous of being under the leadership of the Italian Brothers and lodged so many complaints that eventually they were accused of mismanagement and were sent back to Spain in chains. It became evident to the courts of Spain that the accusations made against the two brothers were grossly exaggerated and they were released.

Entries Publication Data Advisory Board Contributors ... World Civilizations The Reader's Companion to American History CARIBBEAN-U.S. RELATIONS Transit routes across the Central American isthmus also interested Americans, especially after the 1848 acquisition of California and the discovery of gold there. The 1850 Clayton-Bulwer Treaty with Britain stated that any future isthmian canal should be jointly controlled. But interest in the isthmian routes faded after completion of a transcontinental railroad system. The American Civil War diverted attention from Caribbean initiatives, but in 1869-1870 President Ulysses S. Grant vainly sought Senate approval for the request of the president of Santo Domingo (later the Dominican Republic) for annexation. A private French project to build a Panama canal aroused a sharper reaction: President Rutherford B. Hayes insisted that any such canal must be under American control (even a British partnership was now unpopular in the United States). Washington's alarm lessened when the French company went bankrupt in 1888. Beginning in 1895 a Cuban revolt against Spain brought guerrilla warfare and widespread suffering to that island. A skillful Cuban propaganda campaign caused the American public and Congress to favor Cuban independence, the one concession Spain rejected. The mysterious 1898 explosion of the battleship

About the ICRC ICRC activities The ICRC worldwide Focus ... Annual Report Annual Report Guatemala City, regional delegation (Belize, Costa Rica, Cuba, Dominican Republic, El Salvador, Grenada, Guatemala, Honduras, Jamaica, Mexico, Nicaragua, Panama and other countries in the Caribbean) Visits to detainees in Guatemala The delegation continued to promote international humanitarian law throughout the region, and conducted operational activities as well. Detention-related activities were carried out in Guatemala (where the government authorized ICRC visits, beginning in January, to all places of detention run by the penitentiary system and the national police) and in Panama. The ICRC also played an important role as a neutral intermediary in Chiapas, Mexico. The ICRC once again called upon those governments that had not already done so to ratify instruments of humanitarian law, and emphasized the importance of the 1980 United Nations Weapons Convention, especially in the light of the ICRC's campaign to ban anti-personnel landmines. Dominica acceded to Protocol II additional to the Geneva Conventions on 25 April. The delegation further promoted the adoption of national measures aimed at implementing international humanitarian law, and toward this end encouraged the establishment of interministeria l committees for the implementation of this law [6]. The ICRC gave guidance in the work of the first such committee to be set up in the region, in the Dominican Republic, helped establish another in Panama in July and assisted the governments of El Salvador, Costa Rica and Guatemala in preparing to create others.
