🍌 Part 1: ua-cam.com/video/j6muUD2SUk8/v-deo.html The banana industry has a very dark past… massacres, wars, and overthrowing democratically elected leaders (on multiple occasions). At one point, they essentially had more power in Central American countries than their own governments did, and they exploited that fully. But as well as looking at all that, this video continues the story of Sam Zemurray - who in part 1 had started out selling ripe bananas, but then expanded his company (Cuyamel Fruit) to try and compete with the dominant industry leader, United Fruit. This is the story of how Sam kept pushing things further, and eventually became the banana king. But at what cost? Honestly though, despite all the madness the banana industry is involved with, one of the strangest things I learnt from researching all this is that a banana is classified as a berry… wtf.

@@internet_userryes but that doesn't mean we can't watch It for free which is what the original comment is about. Everyone knows we are the product, but these days that also goes for paid services.
I remember learning about the United Fruit Company via my Latin American History class in college. It definitely opened my eyes, along with my US History class about US affairs throughout the world. It taught me that the world doesn't hate the US out of envy, but rather ruining their well-being because the US wanted to please their lobbyists overseas all for a pretty penny
@@benfrancois7856lol yeah, but no one has as much power as the USA, maybe the EU combined can kinda equal them. So yeah that’s why the USA is always the one most criticized.
@@felwinter7538 Its not the amounth of rich people. Its what they do to become and stay rich. Its like saying its ok for 100 people to live extreme luxory underlooking millions are dying because of it.
With these videos, I'd love to see you do a video about the 5 families involved in taking control of Hawaii. Alot of people don't understand how powerful these old companies were. A big name of those families is still on most of our fruit products today.
My very smart son told me about the company you are hinting at when he saw a sticker on our bananas. He had seen a video about it. We have a local hospital company that was involved in trying to develop a way to kill Fiedel Castro. Every time I hear the hospital's name, I wonder how a bunch of hospitals were named after someone trying to assassinate Castro. It's a crazy story.
This story is pretty bananas. Glad I finally got to see a mini-documentary about all this. I'd already been aware of its effects having been to Honduras for a time and the tragedy and hardship this kind of thing had brought upon the country, but wasn't aware of all the specifics.
I used to just eat sliced bananas in milk as a kid. When I was 21 I developed a deathly allergy to bananas, but thankfully I can still eat my favorite food, banana bread, because the protein I'm allergic to is destroyed when they're baked
Absolutely insane story! Makes you think that every time the US get involved in a different countries affairs there is an American company potentially behind it
So happy to see how fast your subscribers count has grown in such a short time. You were at about 250K when I subscribed and that was only months ago. This speaks to the quality of your work. Keep up the good work. ❤
True story. In 94 I was a trainee tree surgeon. We worked at a guys stately home in Wiltshire that needed major tree work for safety reasons. The trees all had tpo's on them so was a really expensive job, nearly 5 days. The guy renting this property was a diplomat of a Caribbean country. (My boss only dealt with his pa) so we never spoke before the work started, on the penultimate days work, he brought out tea on a silver tray and was chatting about the work and payment. I was told after by my boss that he did not want to pay the bill in money but bananas........... We thought it was a joke, but the guy was 100% serious. It took quite a while to get ££££ out of him but he thought his bananas could be used as payment 😆 The guy was completely "bananas" 😆😆
I love bananas, but I'm pretty sure I couldn't eat enough to not waste any to make it worth me getting paid with them. Maybe that's why the call money clams...
tbf - anything can be used as a value of trade....................it's just that we much prefer cash - everybody wants it [obviously] But if you/your boss was happy with 'banana payments' [ie: 'X bananas' for 'X period of time'], then there is nothing intrinsicly wrong with this method of trading. Just don't try getting a soda from a vending machine with a banana - - - - - ask me how I know ;-)
My grandfather was one of the leaders of this plantations in the frontier of Panama and Costa Rica. My father grew up in a town basically owned by Chiquita Banana. He said that town was totally different from any other city around. My grandfather was involved in politics and administration in other countries in Asia as well. They really had power to control regions and influence with local and central government.
FANTASTIC!!! I loved this story!! Both parts were amazing!! I have a recommendation. Can you make a video about Quiznos? Quiznos, the rise and fall of such a large restaurant empire in such a short time.
I love the Epilogue, John's thoughts, bit at the end. it's great that you separate your objective reporting from your subjective opinions, and then let us know what you think about the story. i'm sure i'm not alone in wanting to know what you think about these mad up stories you regale :) thanks for the mini movies, such an adventure every time 👍
This guy is one of the best on UA-cam, a great narrator and the videos he uploads are just class 👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 keep up the good work from Northern Ireland 🇬🇧
I freaked out when I saw the thumbnail thinking that someone stole your video idea and I literally made it to the comments before realizing. You’re videos are just too good. Thank you.
Finally. I've waited patiently for part two, thank you for doing what you do. It has been a constant source of insight, ideas and inspiration. Manuel Ibup
Focusing on reading the subtitles not the video playing on the background makes you curious about the banana industry. Thank you John for this wonderful documentary.
I love that you told this story. I wish you would make a part three " the story of Standard fruit" as a kid in Honduras I used to hear the horror stories of the dead workers, the use of DDT as pest control how it caused so many deaths and birth defects, and of course the further strikes and murders. I wrote a paper in school about it in seventh grade my teacher did not allow me to present it in front of class as she said "your classmates are not ready to hear this" but at least she gave me an A+ for the assignment. This stuff has been kept pretty much out of the public consciousness I read somewhere about how modern man knows the price of everything but not the cost, I believe this applies here. Thank you.
You know what mate. I got suggested one of your videos through the algorithm. You've earned a subscriber. Literally exposed the actual hypocrisy of the Amsterdam government in this one video.
As someone who has lived in Guatemala for a few months, I can clearly state: the echoes of the atrocities made there by these related events are still dragging the country down... Those affected people deserve much better life than they are forced to live nowadays 😢
@@common12as someone that comes from a third world country, I can tell you is difficult for those countries to prosper by themselves because the US and other powerful countries constantly do whatever the fuck they want with them, and they forced to do wtv the higher countries want.
At 20:40 i thought it was the end of the video and was really sad that happened. But little did I know.... Only around 1/3 was watched and the other 2/3 was still remaining... Great video John!!!
An excellent video. I worked for Fyffes for a couple years, they were Chiquita as well, owned by United Brands. We were told to have a minute of silence for the CEO who jumped from the 44th floor of the Pan Am building with a suitcase full of money, but I couldn't do it as I was laughing at the irony.
This is why i watch your channel!!! My 14 year old daughter is here picking up her jaw!!! I'm from 🇵🇷 and we have a local 🍌business that supplies almost all the island. Also, you can get them in your back yard🤷🏽♂️😂.
I think I have said this before to you, who make these videos, that these videos are so well made. The best on UA-cam. I think. They look so professionally made. The quality is so visible. It shows of course how much effort you and your team put into this. The visuals are nice. I can see you use movie clips from other movies to help emphasize what you are saying. Your narration too is very good. Sounds again professional. I watched both videos. Had to. It is unbelievable what transpired from a simple young guy wanting to start a business to everything you have showed in your two videos. Why someone hasn’t made a movie about this guy yet I don’t know! You have proven that maybe it should be done. Ok, in my opinion this all shows how HARD it really is to start and run a business. It truly is. It requires someone with a tenacity level so thick you can’t even lodge a speeding bullet into it. It’s so cut throat. Competitive. Humans will do anything to survive. To be successful too. I personally could never be a businessman. No way. It’s too much. This guy Sam helped out many people but he also hurt many too. A two sided coin. Like you said, all of this over a simple fruit we take for granted every day. The banana. 🍌
Watched about a dozen of your videos so far and I think this one was my favorite! It’s amazing how deep the history of business behind something as simple as bananas can be. Nintendo video was also amazing. Looking forward to watching more!
what a beautiful business movie.... i just feel so overwhelmed by the amount of things i got to know today,,,,, this is one of the most underrates channel ,,, keep it up dude
Haven’t watched the whole video yet but I kinda already knew about some of this this cause am interested in history and in the history community so am kinda required to know about this. Haven’t seen a big UA-camr cover the United fruit company so am excited to watch this especially from one of my favorite documentary UA-camrs. Edit: this was amazing and while I didn’t watch part 1 I still loved this, I learned a lot of things I never really knew about United fruit company and I didn’t even know they rebranded into Chiquita. Best video yet
Thanks for this. It's a great reminder of how far corporations can go to make more money. Hopefully, people will realize this and create a better future.

Hello, could you make a video about Black Rock company, please!
A story about bananas has no right being this interesting. Well done sir

This is basically US business and politics in a nutshell. If they're willing to go to that extent over bananas, imagine pharma, oil & gold.
As a kid I always used to idolize USA as a superpower good guy but as I grew older I understood the other side of coin on how evil they were too
Britain is also under these methods today.
A first class doc, a lesson in politics also
And Sam was a Russian that immigrated to the United States.
has nothing to do with the us and everything with capitalism.
