In 1954 the CIA aided in the overthrow of Guatemala's democratically elected president. Jacobo Árbenz Guzman, a leftist leader intent on improving the quality of life for Guatemala's lower class population, nationalized tens of thousands of acres of private land for redistribution to the peasantry as part of an agrarian reform law, which was also supported by Guatemala's small communist party. The United Fruit Company (UFCo), a US company which dominated Guatemala's agricultural export market, had thousands of unused acres expropriated. UFCo, with ties to high-level government officials, appealed to the US State Department for resolution to this injustice. President Eisenhower and many in his Cabinet felt the land reform legislation and Árbenz' nationalist policies were likely backed by Moscow and decided to use covert action to ensure communism was rolled back from the hemisphere.
