In 1899, the United Fruit Company began a "Structural Overhaul" of Central America. Known as "El Pulpo" or The Octopus, this corporation built a massive "Information Artery" of railways and ports to move bananas. They siphoned control away from local leaders, owning vast amounts of land and essential services. This was a "Sovereign Takeover" that created the first "Banana Republics" in history.
When democracy threatened their "Profit Moat" in 1954, the company triggered a "Military Siphon." They pressured the U.S. to overthrow Guatemalaās elected government. This "Reality Audit" led to decades of brutal dictators and death squads across the region. The "Machinery of Terror" they built siphoned away the future of millions, proving how corporate power can destroy a nationās integrity.
