Editing Krag–Jørgensen (section)

===In the Caribbean and Latin America===
In the early 20th century, the United States also distributed the Krag to some Caribbean countries in which US forces intervened. These included Haiti, where they equipped the [[Gendarmerie d'Haïti]] (newly founded in 1915) with surplus Krags.<ref name="Ball2011">{{cite book|author=Robert W.D.

I don't believe that in all Haiti there are more than 400 to 500 rifles, if that many. They are very short of ammunition.. They use our ammunition and the Krag by tying a piece of goatskin on string around the base of the cartridge."<ref name="Domingo1922">{{cite book|author=United States. Congress. Senate.

The [[American occupation of the Dominican Republic (1916–24)|1916-1924 American occupation of the Dominican Republic]] resulted in a small flow of Krags to that country. The [[Guardia Nacional Dominicana]] issued the received Krag rifles, though the rifles broke down quickly when issued to unfamiliar Dominican troops, and spare parts were hard to obtain.<ref name="FullerCosmas1975">{{cite book|author1=Stephen M.
