In the 1920s, Colombia's Caribbean coast became the epicenter of a banana boom that transformed the region—and ended in one of the country's most notorious acts of state violence. This episode explores the rise of the United Fruit Company in Magdalena and Guajira, the construction of the railroad from Santa Marta to Aracataca, the brutal working conditions that sparked the 1928 strike, and the massacre that followed in Ciénaga. We look at the roles of President Miguel Abadía Méndez, General Carlos Cortés Vargas, and the labor leader Alberto Castrillón, as well as the long shadow the event cast on Colombian literature—most famously in Gabriel García Márquez's 'One Hundred Years of Solitude.' We also consider how the banana economy reshaped land ownership, indigenous displacement, and the region's political culture. A story of boom, blood, and the birth of a myth. #UnitedFruitCompany #Colombia #BananaMassacre #Ciénaga1928 #Magdalena #SantaMarta #Aracataca #GabrielGarcíaMárquez #OneHundredYearsOfSolitude #MiguelAbadíaMéndez #CarlosCortésVargas #AlbertoCastrillón #LaborHistory #CostaCaribe #ColombianHistory #SouthAmerica #History #FexingoHistory Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
