In 1869 the president of the Dominican Republic requested that the U.S. annex the country and while this was supported by the president
of the United States it ended up failing in the Senate where the vote was split in half for and against, falling short of the Constitutionally
required 2/3.

So, what if the vote managed to get the required 2/3 and the Dominican Republic, after it requested it, was annexed into the U.S. as the
29th state, what affect would this have on the future, would the U.S. be more active in the Caribbean, perhaps eventually annexing Haiti,
would this affect global issues over the long term, would Spanish become more prevalent, would the modern idea of an attractive woman
be thin but with a big butt?
