Jorge Ubico, the dictator of Guatemala, let the US owned UFCO own most of the land, transportation, and communication in Guatemala.
I work for the UFCO and I'm gonna take all of your land because America is the best.
ok
Guys I swear freedom of speech is bad.
Only after Ubico got rid of freedom of speech, though, did he get thrown out of office. Juan Jose Arevalo and Jacobo Arbenz were part of the group that overthrew him.
no
Replacing Ubico was Arevalo, and after his term ended, he was replaced by Arbenz, who planned to change the way of life in Guatemala.
This guy's pretty cool
I'm gonna fix everything Ubico did. I'll implement reforms to take the UFCO's power and give it back to the people.
This communist sucks
What! You can't do that. I'm gonna tell America. You're a communist anyways.
Arbenz stood by his word, taking unused land from the big industries like the UFCO and giving back to the smaller local farmers.
Just because I let communists vote doesn't make me communist. These rumors the US is spreading is all lies!
Here's some land from the UFCO. I'm also making them pay extra taxes. They won't be able to exploit us anymore.
500000 acres
Even though there's basically no evidence that he's communist, we don't take chances so you're gonna get rid of him.
The US, paranoid of even the slightest influence of communism, wanted to overthrow him, so they told the CIA to make a plan. Under the leadership of Castillo Armas, an army started being trained.
ok
I'm not even communist why are you doing this. I've done nothing but good for this country.
Shut up communist
When the Guatemalan Army refused to fight for Arbenz due to the US exaggerating the size of the invading forces, Arbenz had to resign.
