The Samoza family was close-knitted with United Fruit Company, (now known as Chiquita Bananas.) Which the latter was large part of economic force behind the infamous Banana Wars of Guatemala and Central America.
For those interested in how corporate influence can control our, (U.S.), policies and military actions, look up United Fruit Company ties with the Dulles Brothers and CIA.
My spin from what have learned, is the "official" excuse for their actions was to counter communist activity in those countries. Yet, if the workers were treated better, paid better, the commies would have had no ground to stand on in the first place.
