The Battle of Montecristi was fought on May 15, 1864 in the Dominican Republic, during the Dominican Restoration War (1863–65) between Dominican forces and Spain. A Spanish force of 6,000 troops supported by 13 cannons, commanded by General José de la Gándara, appointed captain-general of Santo Domingo since March, confronted the Dominican insurgents commanded by Benito Monción. The latter, who took refuge in the town of Monte Cristi, suffered a defeat and were forced to retreat, but not without inflicting disproportionate casualties on their opponents. The future Spanish general Fernando Primo de Rivera y Sobremonte was wounded during the fighting.
