The Third Dominican Republic[1] was a predecessor of the Dominican Republic and existed from 12 July 1924 with the departure of American troops after the end of the first American occupation, until 28 April 1965 with the disembarkation of American troops after the start of the April 1965 War and the second American occupation. This period is also known as the Age of Trujillo, because of the strong influence exerted by the Trujillo regime over much of these 41 years.
