21 Aug 1933 Jahr - Failed Coup in Honduras

Beschreibung:

Having come under the domination of various US fruit companies that turned the nation into an economic enclave, Honduras seemingly came to breaking point. A peasant uprising stormed the capital and lead to the suicide of sitting president Tiburcio Andino. However, the government established in the aftermath of the revolution became dominated once more by US interests and a clique of intelligensia. Now what remains of Honduras' state is a mess, purged of dissenters and relying on military force to keep the railways to the ports open.
