Actually, Juan Bosch is why he was fighting. If you know that truth you would know he was fighting for democracy. He was fighting to keep something like the Trujillo era away. The United States used the C.I.A. and Dominican military to remove Juan B. from power. The Americans feared Juan B. because he did lean to the left; he proposed a change to the constitution. Some of those changes were the right to Dominican citizenship if you are born in D.R.
Another is the end of large amounts of property in the hands of people and or companies “also known as La Latifundia”. Example: Central Romana.
And another was that Only Dominican Citizens Are allowed to poses land in D.R.

You can not say that he should have not been aligned with Juan B. I am saying that was the resign they revolted in the 1st place.
They “Caamaño and the rebels” called them selves Constitutionalist; they wanted to return to the Constitution of 1963. And return a DEMOCRATICLY elected president to power.


Caamaño should have stayed in Cuba, any info you need can be found in the book.

Latifundia are pieces of property covering tremendous areas. The latifundia (Latin: latifundium; latus, "spacious" + fundus, "farm, estate" of Roman history were great landed estates, specializing in agriculture destined for export: grain, olive oil, or wine. They were characteristic of Magna Graecia and Sicily, of Egypt and the North African Maghreb and of Hispania Baetica in southern Spain. The latifundia were the closest approximation to industrialized agriculture in Antiquity, and their economics depended upon slave labour.
Today, latifundia are only found in Latin America and the term is often extended to describe the haciendas of colonial and post-colonial Mexico, Venezuela, Uruguay, Chile (called latifundio or simply fundo) and Argentina. These originated under colonial law allowing forced labor recruitment and land grants for military services. In post-colonial times, ending the dominance of the latifundia system by implementing agrarian reforms became a popular goal of several governments in the region.
