Trujillo, on the other hand, used extreme methods such as murder, abuse and intimidation to suppress opposition to the government. To show his arrogance, Trujillo awarded himself the Grand Marshal to rename the capital Santo Domingo to Trujillo, and he changed Mount Duat, the highest mountain in the Caribbean, to Trujillo. And the names of many large and small towns in the country are named after themselves and their relatives. Trujillo himself is 1/4 Haitians, but in order to drive out Haitians living in Dominica, he ordered troops to kill Haitians living in Dominica in 1937, known as the "Holocaust of parsley" or slaughter. In order to cover up the military action for the troops, Trujillo ordered all soldiers to use machetes instead of rifles. During the six-day period from the evening of October 2 to October 8, 1937, the multinational force stopped all the darker-skinned people near the border with Haiti in Dominica, and showed that the parsley wanted the other party to pronounce it in Spanish, because Haitians who used French could not correctly pronounce the name parsley in Spanish (perejil for many people and pè si for Haitians) As long as all Haitians are identified to have been murdered on the spot, it is estimated that about 17000 to 35000 Haitians have been murdered. A few years later Dominica agreed to pay $750000 in compensation to the Republic of Haiti for this incident, but in the end the actual amount of compensation was $525000. The compensation for each family member of the victim was originally planned to be US $30, but due to serious corruption in the Haitian government, the actual amount received by the family member was only US $0.02.

After Trujillo came to power, although there were continuous means to suppress the cruelty of the people, his government has always been supported by the Vatican and most Dominican upper-class society, and the US government is well aware of the extreme cruelty of the Trujillo dictatorship. however, due to the rise of the communist regime in Cuba during the Cold War and the rise of the communist regime in Cuba, the United States needed the support of Trujillo, and the United States did not interfere in the administration of Trujillo. But after Trujillo tried to send someone to murder then Venezuelan President Romulo Betancourt in 1960, the US government and the Trujillo regime began to break apart. Trujillo himself was murdered in the capital Santo Domingo on May 30th, 1961, under the planning of the US Central Intelligence Agency.
