Any body know about the 1954 Guatemalan coup d'état? That was a dramatic event that shaped it for the long run

The United fruit Company was making a lot of money in the country but business had been affected by the softening of exploitative labor practices in Guatemala, which eventually lead to the overthrow of the Country.
