Which U.S. corporation held a large stake in the economies of several Latin American nations during the 1920s and 1930s?

During the 1920s and 1930s, the United Fruit Company held a significant stake in the economies of several Latin American nations, particularly in Central America. The company controlled vast banana plantations and influenced local economies, politics, and infrastructure. Its activities often led to the term "banana republics," describing countries that were economically dependent on a single export and vulnerable to foreign corporate interests. This dominance also sparked political interventions by the U.S. government in the region.
