Guatemala (1952-54) and Iran (1953) both come to mind. United Fruit and Anglo-Iranian Oil -- the latter a British firm, but with distinct US interests. Cuba (Bay of Pigs) and US sugar, alcohol, and tobacco interests. Almost certainly Sukarno (Indonesia), though that nominally had Communist concerns as well. Indonesia was a source of oil, natural gas, tin, copper, gold, natural rubber, and tropical hardwoods. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/CIA_activities_in_Guatemala#... https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/1953_Iranian_coup_d%27état https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bay_of_Pigs_Invasion Noam Chomsky should be a good source for more such information. |
