In the 17 – century Spanish Crown won the entire kingdom of Haiti and drew the inhabitants of the islands as slaves. The Spaniards quickly looted the island and used it as a springboard to explore other areas in the New World. Founded the colony in the eastern part of the island with the capital of the mentioned Santo Domingo (now Dominican Republic). Meanwhile, the conquest of Mexico and Peru conquistador Hernan Cortes in 1521, led to the Spaniards abandoned these lands in favor of more affluent areas. By 1548, the indigenous population – Indians, were almost completely destroyed, while gold reserves are rapidly exhausted. Thus, the prestige and importance of Santo Domingo as a strategic seaport in the eyes of Spain strongly decreased. Hundreds of colonists left the island, heading for Mexico and Peru.
