Undid revision 1061056004 by Klbrain (talk):Fits poorly into new article; only one supporter of the move as well. The History of the Dominican Republic article also details far more massacres than how the article previously looked. In fact, this seems to be a very important article; not something that can be redirected without the consensus of more than one person.
