In the history of the Dominican Republic, the period of Era de Francia ("Era of France", "French Era" or "French Period") occurred in 1795 when France acquired the Captaincy General of Santo Domingo, annexed it into Saint-Domingue and briefly came to acquire the whole island of Hispaniola by the way of the Treaty of Basel, allowing Spain to cede the eastern province as a consequence of the French Revolutionary Wars.

During this time, it was also referred to as the French Santo Domingo, the Captaincy General was divided into two separate departments each with its own governor and autonomy, the Cibao Department and the Ozama Department[3]
