He became Guatemalan president in 1951, supported by the army and leftist parties. He instituted social and economic reforms to improve the situation of the poor, but this caused the disatisfaction of the conservative sectors such as the wealthy landowners and the top military officers. His policies that aimed to reduce the influence and control over Guatemalan economy by US big companies - like the United Fruit company - also displeased the American government.
