1855 battle of the Dominican War of Independence
The Battle of Santomé () was a major battle during the years after the Dominican War of Independence and was fought on 22 December 1855, in the province of San Juan. A detachment of Dominican troops forming part of the Army of the South, led by General José María Cabral, defeated an outnumbering force of the Haitian Army led by Antoine Pierrot. Almost 700 Haitian soldiers perished in the battle, and the rest, many of them wounded, were forced to retreat, being pushed back as far as the Fortress of Cachimán and subsequently beyond the border. The Haitians met defeat on the same day at the Battle of Cambronal.
