Comparing The Struggle Between Arbez And The United Fruit Company
After being too overwhelmed with his overly democratic government he made, and all the problems they were creating. For example, the land being tossed around between Arbez and the United Fruit Company for very high prices. He was becoming very much liked.
The United Fruit Company owns most everything here in Guatemala like our railroads, banks, stores...etc. They are a huge part of our country. Arbez thought that he wanted more land. They only way was to buy it from them, he did, and after rethinking, he decided to sell it back to the United Fruit Company for $1,185,000. Obviously this made them mad. So they then decided to raise all of the prices of their land, kinda like a threat. And to make a statement, they didn't want their land
