On 26 January 1801, Toussaint Louverture’s forces entered Santo Domingo, the Spanish-speaking eastern part of Hispaniola, claiming authority under France’s 1795 cession. The action extended revolutionary emancipation into territory where slavery still existed, but it was also a military occupation carried out without local consent. Subsequent proclamations regulated municipal administration, commerce, and land. A decolonial account recognizes both the anti-slavery consequences and the expansion of Toussaint’s centralized authority over eastern communities.
