dbo:abstract | The Battle of Montecristi was fought on 15 May 1864 in the Dominican Republic, during the War of Restoration (1863–65) between Dominican separatists and Spain. A Spanish force of 6,000 troops supported by 13 cannons, commanded by General José La Gándara, appointed captain-general of Santo Domingo since March, confronted the Dominican separatists commanded by Benito Monción. The latter, who took refuge in the town of Monte Cristi, suffered a defeat and were forced to retreat, but not without inflicting disproportionate casualties on their opponents. The future Spanish general Fernando Primo de Rivera y Sobremonte was wounded during the fighting. This battle is the most significant victory won by Spain in this conflict during the year 1864. The Dominicans subsequently evaded direct confrontations and opted for a relentless guerrilla tactic which forced the Spaniards to confine themselves to Santo Domingo, the capital. Realizing that the reconquest of the island promised to be costly and uncertain, Spain gave up its enterprise and Queen Isabella II of Spain authorized the abandonment of the colony on 3 May 1865. (en) La batalla de Monte Cristi o el desembarco de Monte Cristi fue un enfrentamiento bélico de la Guerra de Santo Domingo o Restauración ocurrido del 16 de mayo al 17 de mayo de 1864 durante el reinado de Isabel II de España. El ejército español comandado por el Gobernador Superior Civil y Capitán General de la Provincia de Santo Domingo, José de la Gándara, había desembarcado desde Santiago de Cuba (Capitanía General de Cuba) para reconquistar San Fernando de Monte Cristi, la cual había sido tomada por los independentistas desde el 17 de agosto de 1863. La victoria española supuso el inicio del avancé español por el Cibao, avanzando a lo largo de la costa norte, y dicha batalla significó un gran logró para los españoles. La ciudad permanecería bajo control español hasta el abandono de Santo Domingo durante el quinto Gobierno del presidente del Consejo de Ministros y I duque de Valencia, Ramón María Narváez.

Une armée espagnole de 6 000 hommes appuyés par trois canons, commandée par le général , nommé depuis le mois de mars capitaine général de Saint-Domingue, affronte les indépendantistes dominicains commandés par . Ces derniers qui se sont retranchés dans la ville de Montecristi, subissent une défaite et sont contraints à la retraite, non sans avoir infligé de lourdes pertes à leurs adversaires. Le futur général espagnol Fernando Primo de Rivera y Sobremonte est blessé lors des combats. Cette bataille est la victoire la plus significative remportée par l'Espagne dans ce conflit pendant l'année 1864. Les Dominicains éludent par la suite les affrontements directs et optent pour une tactique de guérilla implacable qui contraint les Espagnols à se confiner à Saint-Domingue, la capitale. Réalisant que la reconquête de l'île promet d'être coûteuse et incertaine, l'Espagne renonce à son entreprise et la reine Isabelle II d'Espagne autorise l'abandon de la colonie le 3 mai 1865. (fr) |
