The United Fruit Company (UFCO) gained control primarily through a combination of strategic investments, land acquisitions, and political influence in Central America during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. By cultivating vast banana plantations and establishing a monopoly on banana exports, UFCO became a dominant economic force in countries like Guatemala, Honduras, and Costa Rica. The company also leveraged its influence over local governments, often collaborating with the U.S. government to maintain favorable conditions, which included military interventions to protect its interests. This led to the term "banana republics," describing nations heavily influenced by foreign corporate interests.
