Description: (21st President of Guatemala)
Jorge Ubico Castañeda, also known as Number Five or Central America's Napoleon, was a Guatemalan military officer, politician, and dictator who served as the president of Guatemala from 1931 to 1944. He became president after running unopposed in the 1931 election and implemented oppressive policies that favored the United Fruit Company and wealthy landowners, resulting in severe labor practices. Ubico's authoritarian rule drew comparisons to Adolf Hitler and ended with his removal during a pro-democracy uprising in 1944, which sparked the Guatemalan Revolution.
