Gringo is a slang Spanish and Portuguese word used in Spanish-speaking and Portuguese-speaking countries in Latin America, to denote foreigners, often from the United States. The term can be applied to someone who is actually a foreigner, or it can denote a strong association or assimilation into foreign (particularly US) society and culture. While in Spanish it simply identifies a foreigner, without any negative connotation,[1] in English the word is often considered offensive or disparaging.[2]
The word was used in Spain – although the word is nowadays rarely heard there – long before it crossed the Atlantic to denote foreign, non-native speakers of Spanish.[3]

there’s a lot more to the trujillo thing than what’s mentioned. trujillo’s mother was half haitian and wouldn’t accept that so decided to kill the haitians off. that man was a caribbean hitler. he even killed his own people.
his dictatorship is said to be the bloodiest dictatorship in all of latin american history. the number of casualties under his dictatorship is still unconfirmed to this day. it’s estimated to be 100,000.

They invaded the DR because they could not risk another communist government in Latin America.
During the 1965 Dominican Civil War, the Constitutionalists were considered Marxist and the US intervened to lend a hand to the Armed Forces

Just an addendum. The US invaded the Dominican Republic for a second time in 1965.

I'm pretty sure Cuba nationalized all their "companies" to keep yanks from exploiting them. It's been said that Cuba's three great successes are education, medicine and sports, while their three failures are breakfast, lunch and dinner.
