Banana Wars: When US Marines Fight For Big Fruit (Documentary)

The video explores the United States' involvement in Central America, beginning with early attempts to build the Panama Canal and extending through the 20th century. It examines how the Monroe Doctrine and U.S. military interventions in Guatemala, Nicaragua, and the Coto War between Costa Rica and Panama were driven by strategic interests and the influence of the United Fruit Company. The documentary traces the impact of U.S. actions on the region's political landscape and the broader implications of the Banana Wars.
