Banana Wars - US Marines Occupy Cuba, Haiti & Dominican Republic I THE GREAT WAR 1921

This series has been running since 2014 and reprises the history from 100 years ago. Fair warning, there's a commercial ad in the last 2 minutes. That's how a lot of these are financed.

He was with the marines.
He was also prejudiced and racist.
