The Republic of Spanish Haiti (Spanish: República del Haití Español), also called the State of Santo Domingo (Estado de Santo Domingo) was a former unrecognized breakaway state that succeeded the Captaincy General of Santo Domingo after independence was declared on 1 December 1821 by José Núñez de Cáceres. The state's constitution declared it as a state of Gran Colombia. The republic lasted only from 1 December 1821 to 9 February 1822 when it was annexed by the Republic of Haiti.
