Dominican Republic Trajectory

The Trajectory, Development and Decline of the Dominican Republic Revolution of 1965 :
Introduction
After World War two, countries around the globe began to experience some sort of political regime shift. Whether it was the work of a common ideology or just impeccable timing, countries in Asia and the Caribbean began to question the political order in their respective states. For example, China fell to communism in 1949 when leader Mao Zedong and his troops marched into Beijing after some political struggle and enacted the People's Republic of China (PRC) to power after being a nationalist state for over thirty years ("The Chinese Revolution of 1949").

The rebels also coordinated most of their attacks through the San Domingo radio and other media outlets they were able to take over.
