The Trujillo Regime refers to the authoritarian rule of Rafael Trujillo in the Dominican Republic from 1930 to 1961. Trujillo maintained power through a combination of political repression, censorship, and a strong military presence. His government was marked by human rights abuses, including the persecution of political opponents and the infamous Parsley Massacre, where thousands of Haitians were killed. Trujillo's regime also focused on modernization and infrastructure development, which led to some economic growth. However, this was overshadowed by widespread corruption and the cult of personality surrounding Trujillo. His assassination in 1961 marked the end of his oppressive rule, leading to a period of political instability in the country.
