You’re hot 🤤
The defender of democracy. Unless you have oil. Unless you‘re socialist. Unless they don‘t like you. Unless companies can profit.
I mean the oil part isn't true at all because sure the middle east does have oil but however looking at the actual statistics most of the oil in the us is domestic or Canadian not middle east so if it was actually just for oil it would of been better for them to invade places like Russia or canada for oil I'm not saying they didn't do bad things in the middle east no I'm just saying the idea they specifically where there for just oil nothing else is a confirmed myth
@@Koawa_ doesn't mean they don't want it
@@Dummigame I'm just saying it wouldn't make sense and besides I think there's places with way more oil than the middle east ever had for them to invade like Russia or canada or Venezuela like they should of invaded those places for oil not the middle east
@@Koawa_ look up the oil piracy they were engaging there, as well as in Syria right now.
@@Koawa_ they can't invade russia, and are already sanctioning venezuela to weaken them
As a American-Guatemalan, THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO
Mate, just stumbled upon your channel and just want to say that its amazing. A precious gem. You're going to blow up someday and it will be even greater than it is right now!
i agree u may even overcome oversimplified
@@ramikafernando6248 become*
I watched your new Oversimplified video and WOW the quality of these videos are amazing I just wish more people knew of this amazing channel. Keep up the great work
It would have interested me to know if the US ever officially apologised or payed any kind of reparations. Or how the company Chicita looks at these events from the past or if they are still profiting from this.
Chiquita is still profiting
No apologies, if anything, they brag about it in games and movies and series, make it seem heroic.
Paid*
They didn't.
Yeah basic superpower stuff
Your videos are so high quality, you're gonna blow up soon no doubt
I agree
He just did
Bro predicted the future
Oh nvm you said this after it blew up
I knew about Nicaragua but I had no clue about the rest, nor that it went so back. Amazing work
0:07 Translated 100 dead and 230 wounded in the conflict in the Banana Region.
Great Video!
thank you!
your underrated, this is a w video
While I do think both sides committed atrocities during "la guerria", I agree with this man completely and despise what the CIA did. Thank you so much for this video, i'm am so glad I found this channel and thankful you are informing others on this tragedy. Viva Guatemala.
my family and me are from guatemala 🇬🇹 🇬🇹🇬🇹
Same as me
🇬🇹🇬🇹🇬🇹🇬🇹
yup
same
From USA but my family from Guatemala 🇬🇹 🇺🇸
Well I've found a new channel with videos that are great dinner companions, keep up the great work!
I like how he pronunces names accurately in another languages
I don't think it's wrong to assume that nowdays America is consumed by terms like Anti-terrorism and antifascism, terms that have basically replaced anti-communism and work the exact same way. The US generally likes to label things just to get her job done.
Hi, Chilean guy
I watched this video and the oversimplified inspired video and your videos are great
Can't wait to see what's next!🤩
(Btw Sam O''Nella talked about this in one video)
Awesome video, got subbed
Nice Video! pls more of this
this channel will blow up
and when that happens i want to be there
Your channel is really good and the perspectives you give too. I do appreciate the lean into Over simplified style videos but I think it could undergo some change to make it a little more personal to you, but this style of video is great too- I think this is more unique but with some customisation the other style could also work as your own thing. I just think some of the similarities should be changed, but keep it up😊❤ you're gonna do great here
I think this is better than the "oversimplified inspired" videos
Keep up the good work bud I love videos like this 👍😁
Love the videos here before 2k subscribers
Beautiful! I know for a fact that you are going to blow up. See you on November 17!
Wait a minute
Prepare the newspapers, someone's gonna "commit suicide".
That banana at the end
ur pronunciation is on point, lesss go!!!
i got here thanks to a mr terry video and tho i love your oversimplified style videos i still like your original format
and i have to say i couldnt help to notice how you pronounced "anajtacio somosa" that made me wonder where are you from... saludos desde santa cruz, bolivia
Hi! Welcome to the channel!
I was born in Germany, raised in Chile, so I got a weird accent but I can usually pronounce Spanish and german names quite well
@@ThingsICareAbout yeah i noticed the germanness from the vietnam videos thats why the "anajtacio" confused me hahah... anyways great job so far please carry on with it 🤘😋🤘
Very nice channel, i wish for much success for you. Will be watching your videos, thank you.
Based video, ty Comrade 🫡
A legend was born
Attention anyone who goes onto videos like this to bitch about how American imperialism somehow justifies current Russian imperialism in Ukraine. Imperialism is evil no matter who does it, whether it's the Americans in Iraq, the Russians in Ukraine, the Chinese in Tibet, the British in India, the French in Algeria, the Germans in Namibia, the Dutch in Indonesia, the Japanese in Korea, the Spanish in Mexico, the Belgians in the Congo, etc. Trying to point fingers and say that "well you also do it" means essentially the same thing as saying everyone does it so it isn't bad and we should just accept it. The only way to even begin to stop it is to condemn it universally, wherever and under whatever circumstances it occurs.
Truth spoken
Fax.
Nah thats stupid imperialism is great if the Western world does it but I do not support it if islam does it or Japan.
Nah fuck that
Great video great youtuber
Just a normal day at the office for the American government.
Woah! There is no way you only have 2k views and subscribers
Whats the modern state of the country? I feel like theres a gap or a lack of description of the current situation and what is still being done
Since returning to democracy in 1996, we've had democracy.... except riddled with corruption, we're having elections this year where hopefully the candidate by the name of Bernardo Arevalo can win and turn this around
This guy will blow up soon
Wow u make good videos.
This story is a story that has played out many many times around the world
Are you portguese or guatamalen because or your spanish catalan or mexican bc that accent is mad good
Would like one on chile with allende and pinochet
Oversimplified 2.0 upgraded version = @things I care about 😊
make more brother
Safe to say the guerrillas gave them a rough time, as they managed to assasinate plenty of highg profile targets such as generals or foreign instructors. They would even mount attacks on united fruit property.

The price paid for bananas and economic interests for the U.S is democracy and justice for developing world, Cold war dynamics in general.
Based vidoes
where was the USSR during all of this? you'd think they would have jumped at the opportunity to throw a wrench in america's plans, why didn't they aid guatemala?
Transitioning from Stalin to Khrushchev by the time of the overthrow of Arbenz. And that was a bit of a mess on its own.
@cageybee7221 USSR was not involving itself to countries that there was not a side that have asked its help. Wherever there was a side that have asked its help it was not participating. So simple.

Can you do “How the U.S. brought freedom to El Salvador “ thanks 🙏🏽
What you don't get taught in schools

As a German I would not have expected you to be German 😅

There are no words to describe this kind of evil

yeah FASCISM oh wait I mean fReEdOm
Anything to sell weapons
Funny how US still tries to hold the moral high ground
I like Countryball a logo
Pretty sure che guevere is also evil too?
They dont teach these things in schools
Your video is informative, every empire in history has made colossal impacting mistakes on others; however, we can learn from our past. I honestly feel, though, among all the nations of the world, the US today is democratic, and the people can vote in, feel confident their vote did count, unlike many other nations. perhaps in your videos for the end, look at what progress has been made, and not scold America today because while America may not be viewed in your eyes as a good force, mini viewers of yours will probably be coming from the US or a western country, we actually like the US you can help us be educated and learn, but hold off mocking what the US is today
The US isn't really much of a democratic system.
Just from the time of women's suffrage in the US, there were at least 3 interventions/occupations of the US into Latin America listed in the video (Cuba, Panama, Nicaragua). This one in Guatemala and the coup in Iran that happened in the same year was going on at around the same time the first major pushes in the Civil Rights Movement was happening (Brown v. Board). Brazil was on the chopping block for US intervention by the time of the Civil Rights Act of '64 and the Voting Rights Act of '65. Just because "people can vote" doesn't negate that those in power use it to further US business/military/political interests in the world at the expense of their client states. Hell, we're in an election year now and there's a genocide being used as a political football by both parties. Don't be tone deaf just because you're not in the immediate danger zone yourself while others are because of US policy.

Hush
They are the greatest peoples democratic republic and totally not a corporate oligarchy
I love this channel and I like how it shows a left wing perspective as well
It's not left wing it's just facts
I'll fucking never eat Chiquita again
Thank you for this video. I never knew chita was so evil
Hello bananana man.
And it seems that the anti-communism movement in United States had a major similarity to the anti-Muslim ideology of post 9/11 America: not completely unfounded, but SEVERELY overblown.😔
Friek he's posted this a month ago not good
Oder auch nicht
Oof 😅

Wdym american empire mr not george washigton
I'm not a socialist, I'm not a communist, I like capitalism, but I can't not hate the US after learning what it is doing to the world.
Homo homini lupus est
dude the US diddn't do that because it's fun or whatever, it is because of the profit-driven economic system which made them ready to do anything to maximize profit, its name is capitalism
Great job bro
from Kurdistan
Murica! (was there even any oil there?)
...Epic..
Guatanala would be better off being communist because communist countries actually got aid and nucelar weapons sometimes so they would have some levrage
I knew about this event, but didn't know just how bad it was
In the end the US has been pretty much as bad as its enemies, with the exception that they went unpunished
Nazi germany, USSR under Stalin, japanese empire were worse. They have a higher death toll.
Dishonorary
the united states lost in guatemala 1954 1955
Bro forgot Alaska
The American empire... 🦅
Now do Putin Navalny affair. You do t have the balls
the u.s. did alot of bad to my motherland 🇬🇹
Mine too 🇮🇹
America fuck yeah!
🤢
Du kopierst einfach nur Simplicissimus.
MURICA 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸💪💪💪🍔🍔🍔
🤢
Communist?
I would rather live in the USSR that in Guatemala during that time
so you do approve human exploitation?
Communism is when America bad ):
You don't have to be a communist to be disgusted with what took place here. Indeed it is every bit as ironic as the USSR claiming to be the liberator of working people invading countries like Czechoslovakia and Afghanistan as it was the US, defender of democracy, intervening in countries like Guatemala and Chile.
Ignorant American propaganda victim?
I don't care about how the US brought freedom to Guatemala
Well. This video is not it
I don't know anything about Guatemala, but your rhetoric sounds exactly like socialist/communist would say. All this clichés "big capital, American empire, working class" etc.
Even though, the video is simply poor, as trying to tell the story in black-white colours. I have heard a lot of it from both sides, and only a goal it pursues is to strengthen the beliefs of socialist who come to watch something about bad capitalists, not to find the truth.
If you don't trust what I am telling you, then by all means, check it out by yourself! Unfortunately, this is what happened. It tragic, but it is what the US has been doing to other countries for a long time
@@ThingsICareAbout I didn't say, i don't trust, but that it looks black-white. I'm assuming, there is other facts you didn't mention which make the story more complicated. Sorry, if it was rude: everyone has a right to speak.
Sure, nothing is black and white. But unfortunately, American imperialism has not been nice, especially in latin America, where we have a long history of being on the receiving end of the US aggression. I encourage you to check it out. It is harsh, but important to know
@@DanuuJlwell America has done so many things around the world, the government is bad not the people, your politicians exploit people around the world no wonder so many migrate to the USA because they start the issues then when the consequences come they back out.
Unfortunately this one was just blatant imperialism pushed by US officials that had massive stakes in the company
So yes, pretty black and white. The US overthrew the democratic government to protect their bottom line
