	United Fruit Company - Carlos Castillo
		Carlos Castillo Armas was an army officer who became President of Guatemala after a military coup in 1954 overthrew President Jacobo Arbenz.
		After surviving an abortive coup in 1950 and subsequently escaping from the penitentiary, Castillo gained the reputation of being a tough, brave, and persistent man. His differences with Arbenz came from the president's social reforms that included an agrarian reform and a pro-labor union stance.
		Castillo began his own agrarian reform that he claimed to be superior than that carried out by Arbenz, because he did not give life time usufruct but conferred a title.
