Banana massacre
The Banana massacre () was a massacre of workers for the United Fruit Company that occurred on December 6, 1928 in the town of Ciénaga near Santa Marta, Colombia. An unknown number of workers died〔See Talk:Santa Marta Massacre#The Death Toll〕 after the conservative government of Miguel Méndez sent the Colombian army to end a union strike for better working conditions. The government of the United States of America had threatened to invade with the U.S. Marine Corps if the Colombian government did not act to protect United Fruit’s interests.
Gabriel García Márquez depicted a fictional version of the massacre in his novel ''One Hundred Years of Solitude'', as did Álvaro Cepeda Samudio in his ''La Casa Grande''.
==Strike==
The workers of the banana plantations in Colombia went on strike in December 1928. They demanded written contracts, eight-hour work days, six-day work weeks and the elimination of food coupons. The strike turned into the largest labor movement ever witnessed in the country until then. Radical members of the Liberal Party, as well as members of the Socialist and Communist Parties, participated.
