The Divided Island of Hispaniola

In the Caribbean, two nations share a single island, yet their histories, languages, economies, and political systems developed along dramatically different paths.

Their border is more than a line on a map. It can actually be seen from space.

It reflects centuries of colonization, revolution, foreign intervention, and competing national identities that shaped both sides in very different ways.

Learn more about the island of Hispaniola and how it became divided on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
