Decree 900 (1952) 📌
- Árbenz played 'Oprah' with uncultivated lands! 🌱
- Took large unused lands and distributed them to those without land.
- United Fruit Company (UFCO) be like 😡.
- They had a LOT of this 'unused' land.
- They said it was for 'preservation', not for growing fruits.
- Thought the compensation was too low. Imagine getting 1 candy when expecting 10.
US Intervenes 📌
- UFCO 📢 to the US: "Help! We're being robbed!"
- US pressured Árbenz for more money for UFCO.
- It's like when you ask your parents to step in because your sibling took your toy.
- Real reason? Not just about land.
- US, led by Eisenhower & Dulles, was afraid of a 'domino effect'.
- If one country makes big reforms, others might follow! Like a trend.
- Dulles painted Guatemala as the next 'hotspot' for communism.
- Aim: Make everyone see communism as an 'outside interference' in the Americas.
- US, led by Eisenhower & Dulles, was afraid of a 'domino effect'.
Caracas Declaration & Rio Pact 📌
- US wanted support for military intervention.
- Latin American countries: "US military? No thanks! We're more scared of you than communism."
- So, US couldn't get the full backing for military action.
- CIA Plan B: Operation sneaky-sneak (covert operation) against Árbenz.
