It is said that “a strong army is a loyal army”, but with power comes ambition. On February 27, 1928, the then President of the Republic, Horacio Vásquez, led the anniversary of the Republic’s Independence.
As an irony of fate, there is a historic photo of Horacio Vásquez where Brigadier Rafael Leónidas Trujillo appears. The head of the Military Army of República Dominicana, his most trusted soldier, and the man who would end his promising term.
