Francisco Hilario Henríquez y Carvajal (14 January 1859 – 6 February 1935)[1] was a doctor, lawyer, writer, educator and politician from the Dominican Republic, who served as president just prior to the US occupation of the country.
Henríquez was born in Santo Domingo, to a family descended from Sephardic Jews who immigrated in the 19th century from Curaçaofrom the Netherlands.[2][3] After studying extensively in his homeland, beginning in 1887, Henríquez moved to Paris for four years, earning a doctorate in Medicine the University of Paris. He returned to the Dominican Republic, where he practiced medicine and taught. He served as editor of the newspaper El Maestro, but left the country during the dictatorship of Ulises Heureaux. While away, he befriended Juan Isidro Jiménez and returned to the Dominican Republic in 1899 to serve as Minister of Foreign Affairs when Heureaux was assassinated and Jiménez was made president.
He was married Salomé Ureña, a poet, from 1880 until her death in 1898. He had 4 children, Pedro, Francisco, Max [es], and Camila. His second wife was Natividad Lauransón Amiama.[4]
Following the fall of Jiménez in 1902, Henríquez established residence in Cuba and practiced medicine. He returned briefly to his country of birth following the interim government of Horacio Vásquez in 1903, but he left several months later. In 1907, President Ramón Cáceres sent him as a delegate to the Hague Convention. In 1911 Henríquez served as an emissary to Haiti following border disputes.
In 1916, Henríquez was on a diplomatic mission when he learned that the Dominican Republic had been occupied by the United States. The Council of Secretaries of State led by Horacio Vásquez elected Henríquez President.[5][6] He served from 31 July to 29 November 1916.[7] His successor was United States military governor Harry Shepard Knapp.
During the presidency of Rafael Trujillo, he served as envoy in France and Cuba from 1930 to 1935.
