    On June 14, 1959, troops consisting of exiled Dominicans under Commander Enrique Jimenez Moya from the Dominican Liberation Movement were sent to the towns of Constanza, Maimón and Estero Hondo. This attempt, called the Luperion Invasion, to topple Trujillo's dictatorship was crushed, but it did planted a seed of rebellion in the Dominican people. This was the inspiration for the name of the political group, the Fourteenth of June Movement.
