In 1900 the Dominican
Republic issued a map stamp in which the border between the Republic
and Haiti, which shares the island of Hispaniola, jutted approximately
50 miles into
Haitian territory, claiming possession of the Haitian town of Hincha.
Haiti protested and the Dominican Republic invaded. Both countries agreed on
a border in 1929.
The airmail stamps issued
by the Dominican Republic in 1930 show the border agreed to in
1929.
