Domino Sugar (Land grab, 41 sugar syndicates) (nov 1, 1920 – nov 1, 1930)
Description:
U. S. LAND GRABBy 1930, almost all of Puerto Rico’s farms belong to 41 sugar syndicates.
80% of these are U.S. owned, and the largest four syndicates – Central Guanica, South Puerto Rico, Fajardo Sugar and East Puerto Rico Sugar – are entirely U.S. owned and cover over half the island’s arable land.
