1905-1924: Dominican Republic
U.S. Marines intervened and occupied this nation on the eastern side of Hispanola after European states hinted they would intervene to stave off the nation?s bankruptcy. American troops left in 1924, but the U.S. Treasury controlled the country?s finances until 1941. In 1965, Marines imposed a new pro-American government. True democratization failed to take root until the mid-1970s. Today, the country is a dis-functional democracy.

Well, when congressional proceedings involve shoot-outs, makes people wonder here what in the hell is going on down there...
