The **Third Dominican Republic**[1] was a predecessor of the [Dominican Republic](/source/Dominican_Republic) and existed from 12 July 1924 with the departure of American troops after the end of the [first American occupation](/source/Military_Government_of_Santo_Domingo), until 1 July 1966 when [Joaquín Balaguer](/source/Joaqu%C3%ADn_Balaguer) became [President of the Dominican Republic](/source/President_of_the_Dominican_Republic). De facto, the Third Republic ended on 28 April 1965 with the [US occupation](/source/Dominican_Civil_War). This period is also known as the **Age of Trujillo**, because of the strong influence exerted by the [totalitarian](/source/Totalitarianism)[2] and [autocratic](/source/Autocracy) [Trujillo regime](/source/Rafael_Trujillo) over much of these 41 years.
