Segovia Registration Scandal
The Segovia Registration Scandal was a procedure opened on February 20, 1856, by the consular president of Spain in Santo Domingo, Antonio María Segovia, based on a false interpretation of article 7' of the treaty agreed between Spain and the Dominican Republic on February 18, 1855, which through simple registration in the consulate, allowed all natives of Spain who had resided in the Dominican Republic and adopted Dominican nationality to regain Spanish nationality. Registration in the Segovia registry equally involved older and minor children, who would adopt the nationality of the father and also gave the right to Spanish nationality to all Dominicans who requested to register their name in the Matrícula de nacionales of the Spanish consulate. This political event took place at a historical juncture in which a virtual struggle between European and North American powers to take control of the Dominican Republic converged, and revealed their intervention in the country's inte ...

Political Scandals In The Dominican Republic
Politics (from , ) is the set of activities that are associated with making decisions in groups, or other forms of power relations among individuals, such as the distribution of resources or status. The branch of social science that studies politics and government is referred to as political science. It may be used positively in the context of a "political solution" which is compromising and nonviolent, or descriptively as "the art or science of government", but also often carries a negative connotation.. The concept has been defined in various ways, and different approaches have fundamentally differing views on whether it should be used extensively or limitedly, empirically or normatively, and on whether conflict or co-operation is more essential to it. A variety of methods are deployed in politics, which include promoting one's own political views among people, negotiation with other political subjects, making laws, and exercising internal and external force, includi ...

Dominican Republic–Spain Relations
Dominican Republic–Spain relations are the bilateral relations between the Dominican Republic and Spain. Both nations are members of the Association of Academies of the Spanish Language and the Organization of Ibero-American States. History Spanish colonization The first Europeans to arrive to what is now present day Dominican Republic was in December 1492 when explorer Christopher Columbus arrived to the island of Hispaniola. The Spanish built a fort named La Navidad. The Spanish settlers on Hispaniola soon began fighting amongst themselves. They raped Taíno women and forced them to work as their servants. After several months of this abuse, the Taínos attacked the settlement and killed the Spanish settlers; the fort was burned to the ground. In 1493, Columbus built the first permanent European settlement in the Americas and called it "La Isabela", named after Spanish Queen Isabella I of Castile.
