    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.

    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.

    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.

    Just to clarify, Eisenhower didn't kill Árbenz. There were some bombings and war threats which forced Árbenz to quit the presidency. Then he got kicked out of the country, just for good measure.

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!

    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.

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
