Which country shares the island of Hispaniola with Haiti?

The Dominican Republic shares the island of Hispaniola with Haiti.

Hispaniola lies in the Greater Antilles between Cuba and Puerto Rico. Haiti occupies the island's western portion, while the Dominican Republic occupies most of its eastern portion. Together, the two countries make Hispaniola one of the world's most prominent divided islands.

The island's political division grew out of European colonization. Spain controlled the east, while France established the colony of Saint-Domingue in the west. France's claim to the western portion was recognized in the 1697 Treaty of Ryswick. Haiti became independent in 1804, and the Dominican Republic declared independence in 1844.

The other choices are nearby Caribbean places, which makes them tempting. Jamaica is a separate island to the southwest, Cuba lies west of Hispaniola, and Puerto Rico lies east across the Mona Passage.
