As a Guatemalan I can confirm that the war displaced millions of people from Central America, caused them to migrate to places like the US, and when the wars were over many were deported back to their countries devastated by war with little faith and control from the government and it was fertile ground for the proliferation of gangs that originated in the US and arrived in Central America causing the violence today
Thats why you make a new government and not let foreign entities gain as much power in your country, thats actually something we’re starting to struggle with, mainly with china since a lot of our products come from their labour and even raw material
TheBlandCharlie kind of but it also makes our country more dependent and also improves the chinese economy, in fact companies and some states have been selling land to china, which is what I’ve been mainly trying to show as how it can be really bad for us
Would a revival of an united central american republic help leverage power you think? With mutual economic pacts with Mexico. The uniform thing everywhere always seem to be, the smaller and more alone your country is, the more your country is susceptible to corruption and influence.
I spent my entire childhood thinking history was boring. Turns out textbooks and mid-2000s History channel documentaries are boring; history is actually really interesting. Now I can't get enough of channels like Oversimplified and Sam O'Nella.
Classes were boring and didn’t really teach much, I learned more from watching Century of the Self than I did trying to memorize names and dates to parrot on exams.. really good documentary series, if you haven’t seen it I highly recommend it
I always loved history, had some great teachers to make it interesting but the mediocre ones didn't affected me that much, whenever they talked i tried to imagine myself in those times and thinking how crazy would be to live in that time with those events happening, that is what made history so interesting for me
Capitalistic imperialism was common way before the banana republics. (part of) Indonesia was run by a Dutch company for centuries. America just invented a way to do the same thing without it being called a colony. Kind of ironic how Indonesia became an independent country because the US wanted to end colonialism, but they did the same thing just a few years later.

FUN FACTS: 1. The Bananas were exported Tax Free, this meant that apart from the infrastructure upgrades, Honduras got the worst part of the deal. 2. The job competition created from the success of these Banana Republics and the fact that the country was making little to no money compared to the Banana companies, sparked the “hatred” against non honduran workers, especially those from El Salvador, hatred and competition which would start the famous “Football War or 1000 hour war.” 3. Manuel Bonilla actually won the elections fair and square, but since he was a character that the current president didn’t like, he didn’t get the job, Bonilla later started a military coup and placed himself as the president. 4. Bonilla is considered a good president nevertheless, a lot of the infrastructure that was created during his 2 terms (yeah you heard that right 2 terms!) is still used today. 5. The Plantations actually had a lot of influence on who would be the rich families until this day, a lot of arabs from palestine, turkey, etc. sold goods to the plantation workers and gained a lot of political influence and money, currently this families dominate the political and economical climate of Honduras. 6. The famous railroad is no longer operational. 7. Tourism is probably the 2nd most important part of Honduras economy but back on the colonial times, Honduras was a goldmine for different types of ores (lead, silver, etc.) these mines were economically exploded by Spain which would later have to pay Honduras ever certain amount of years money until this day to make up for the damage caused and everything they “stole”. 8. Honduras is still one of the top banana producers. *Happy Banana Noises*

Scary fact: Walmart owns 2 PMC companies/ Private Military companies. It used to own 3 but Amazon purchased it for $230 billion. Most of Walmart's private army is used in Asia and the Middle East to make sure people don't destroy or steal from these Walmarts. Only American Walmarts sold guns but most Walmarts outside America have 2 to 30 armed guards with M16's or better.

An American tried to push this in a factory I worked at in Europe with a presentation they were going to have. They were kindly told that workers like their unions here and anti-union propaganda would literally cause a massive scandal which could lead to strikes.
A very similar thing happened here in Hawaii, look up “the big 5 Hawaii” to learn more about it, it’s been a while since I learned about it in school but they were the pineapple and sugar companies basically completely controlling Hawaii at the time. One of the big 5 sugar companies would actually become “dole” the pineapple company.
You asking about "imagine if Wallmart has it's own army" - the huge most influential enterprises have definitely special mercanary battle groups in multiple countries they get profits from. Further more since those companies are practically "the government" ("ruling elite"), controling the media and thus national minds, you can consider the national armies at least partially being corporate armies -> solving corporate "problems".
I'm not sure how I feel about marking a distinction between commercial imperialism, colonialism, and so on. The more I've learned about these various American companies and how they took over various islands and regions, and the more I learn about how the East India Trading Company and their own rise to power over an entire subcontinent, the more I realize they're just two waves of the same process. A private entity driven by profit takes control of a region in which a specific commodity is produced and uses their profits to take further control of the region or expand into new land without any real input from the country they originate from. The only difference is that once the East India Trading Company got big enough, the public started to have concerns about the sheer amount of power and influence they had until the state took control. That and a few devastating famines that killed millions, which, while they weren't caused by the Company (they don't control the weather after all), were certainly exacerbated by their extreme tax policies. Hell, during even the Great Bengal Famine of 1770, the EITC *raised* taxes in their region of control even further. Ten million people died, possibly more. Back to the point, there are far too many parallels between these two waves of imperialism for me to really feel a need to distinguish the two all that much.

As a teacher myself now, I think it's great to let students know of the truth when it comes to history, and it can be quite the tea to listen and learn about!
im glad this guy is asking his viewers to go to the original video and drive engagement for them too. too many of these reaction channels just leech off of popular content so its nice to see this kind of thing.
Hey Mr. Terry! I don't know if you react to TV Series but there is an old 2002 MTV adult cartoon show called "Clone High" it's about famous historians clones in a high school drama style. You got Abe Lincoln, Joan of arc, Gandhi, Cleopatra, JFK, and more. It does have history jokes here and funny characters. It only has 13 episodes so I say check it out or if you have seen it maybe make a review about it.
Subbed from the moment you legitimately encouraged viewers to check out the original. Honestly, you are the only youtuber I know who actually adds much of anything in the form of content. That others don't isn't necessarily a bad thing - even the slightest human interaction with a good video can allow you to appreciate it once again as if seeing it for the first time - but while I wouldn't ever desire greater restrictions on this sort of thing for the reasons outlined above, it doesn't particularly endear one to the clearly vulturine reactor.
Doubt you’ll see this but the commonly accepted term fro the economic and political arrangement you referred to, where the government gets in bed with companies and makes way for them, is “neoliberalism”.
Found your vids a while ago (year and a half ago or so, only watched a couple, but subbed), and I’m recently coming back and binging hard. My favorite, and best teacher was my history teacher in high school. I had him my junior and senior year, and he made me love coming to class, which was very, very out of character for me. My point is, I’m glad kids have a teacher like you. I’m sure you receive TONS of appreciation already, but seriously man, you may not know the effect (good) teachers have on their students. I hope you continue to upload and make a boatload of that YT money, cuz ik you’re not getting paid enough for the work you do as a teacher lmao
That thing about corporations having private armies is uncomfortably close to the situation in the US, where corporations have enough influence on government officials that they can largely get the military and police to back them up. Not quite the same, but not terribly different either

From what I know, in South Africa truckers fill the diffs on their trucks with bananas when they run low on diff oil. This is a thing because south Africa such a rough place for a common shit truck in South Africa to be hauling big loads. When a diff breaks, you’re stuck, and there won’t be a mechanic for hundreds of miles.
I mean to be fair so does the USA. I don’t know the ins and outs of these diplomatic/economic relationships, but I’ve heard that China is developing some actual infrastructure in those countries which (from what I know) is something the States typically do not do. But what do I know I’m just some UA-cam comments guy
i like the idea of a dictionary entry for the term: banana republic - usually not a republic, which economically depends on export of a single commodity, usually not bananas nowadays.
10:39 After working retail for so long and punching in the numbers 4-0-1-1 for each bunch of bananas that goes through my checkout lane, I will never be able to look at the Chiquita stickers or bands the same way ever again. Thanks!

Found your vids a while ago (year and a half ago or so, only watched a couple, but subbed), and I’m recently coming back and binging hard. My favorite, and best teacher was my history teacher in high school. I had him my junior and senior year, and he made me love coming to class, which was very, very out of character for me. My point is, I’m glad kids have a teacher like you. I’m sure you receive TONS of appreciation already, but seriously man, you may not know the effect (good) teachers have on their students. I hope you continue to upload and make a boatload of that YT money, cuz ik you’re not getting paid enough for the work you do as a teacher lmao
10:37 That reaction, though.
I am such a nerd....I loved this video. Mr. Terry's reactions to this video are really nice, measured. Nothing too over the top.
I like turtles
Cool story bro
YES I"VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS SINCE I DISCOVERED YOUR CHANNEL!
As a Venezuelan I'm a big fan of American imperialism.
Pls help...
@Angel Fox yep
@Angel Fox Caracas
@Angel Fox I wouldn't call them "mixed"
@Angel Fox average creole I would say
I always hear that people die if they insult the government is that true?
That thing about corporations having private armies is uncomfortably close to the situation in the US, where corporations have enough influence on government officials that they can largely get the military and police to back them up. Not quite the same, but not terribly different either
I wish you were my history teacher :/
My blood still boils when I remember what the United Fruit co did to Guatemala
Come mister tally man, tally me banana, daylight come and me wanna go home.
You can tell he’s a history teacher because he pauses the videos and talks over everything lmao i miss my history teachers
The Cynical Historian just put out a video on some common myths about Soviet Communism. If you're brave, go give it a watch. Just remind your commenters to be civil.
Corporations still DO have that kind've power, mostly oil companies in this day and age.
I just did a pro historian move.(I subbed )
Ah America. Trading human rights for bananas. What a time to be alive
The bananas must flow
*C O M M I E*

Go get em dwight
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
From what I know, in South Africa truckers fill the diffs on their trucks with bananas when they run low on diff oil. This is a thing because south Africa such a rough place for a common shit truck in South Africa to be hauling big loads. When a diff breaks, you’re stuck, and there won’t be a mechanic for hundreds of miles.
And yet again, unchecked capitalism is kind of the worst.
Well, you could move to the Soviet Union.
Wait...
@@dubuyajay9964 There is grey between fascistic totalitarian controll and anarcho-capitalism. Where in that grey you fall is a different question.
Seen this video and couldn’t wait to see your reaction
and China continues the tradition in Africa today
I mean to be fair so does the USA. I don’t know the ins and outs of these diplomatic/economic relationships, but I’ve heard that China is developing some actual infrastructure in those countries which (from what I know) is something the States typically do not do. But what do I know I’m just some UA-cam comments guy
@4:40 Walmart does have an army but it isn't very effective because they weigh 400lbs and ride hoverrounds
i like the idea of a dictionary entry for the term:
banana republic - usually not a republic, which economically depends on export of a single commodity, usually not bananas nowadays.
If you have him for a teacher you better appreciate and behave in his class yo
The guy who jumped out the window (at 10:32) was called Eli M. Black for those of you who want to look him up.
I have been looking forward to this!
I love that video.
10:39 After working retail for so long and punching in the numbers 4-0-1-1 for each bunch of bananas that goes through my checkout lane, I will never be able to look at the Chiquita stickers or bands the same way ever again.
Thanks!
I grew a pineapple in Pennsylvania (take the top off a pineapple from the grocery store put it water it will grow roots) and it only took 3 years and produced a pineapple the size of my hand with the acidity of a lemon.
This is my favorite episode of Sam onella not gonna lie
I have an antique clock where I found a tag for the Hoaxie Fruit Co. on the tag, it says the clock was bought for somebody by somebody else and specified “don’t sell this clock”
