By 1903, some 250 large corporations had emerged as dominant. Such entities as International Paper (1898), National Sugar Refining Company (1900), U.S. Steel (1901), and International Harvester (1902) were all formed in this period by merging smaller companies into large corporations

The Rockefeller interests controlled the economy of several Latin American countries, including Peru and Venezuela. Creole Petroleum Company, for example, a subsidiary of Rockefellers' then-called Standard Oil of New Jersey, accounted for more than a third of Venezuela's oil, which made up 93% of Venezuela's export earnings. Nelson's own International Basic Economic Corporation in Peru ran a sugar mill,

Or take Ellsworth Bunker who was sent to the Dominican Republic as a "troubleshooter" in 1965 after the April US intervention. The Dominican Republic is a large sugar producer and the National Sugar Refining Company has major holdings there, the same company that used to be a major sugar producer in Cuba

US Marine Corps General Smedley Butler: I helped make Mexico, especially Tampico, safe for American oil interests in 1914. I helped make Haiti and Cuba a decent place for the National City Bank boys to collect revenue in. I helped purify Nicaragua for the international banking house of Brown Brothers in 1909-1912. I brought light to the Dominican Republic for American sugar interests in 1916.

Another successful American on the sugar scene was James H. Post, who became not only president of the National Sugar Refining Company of New Jersey, but was director of the National City Bank of New York and also of the American Colonial Bank of Puerto Rico. Post also served as vice president of the Cuban American Sugar Company, which owned a number of sugar mills in the island. He also held other positions in the Cuban sugar industry, such as president of the New Niguero Sugar Company, president of the Guantánamo Sugar Company, director of the Chaparra Railroad Company, director of the West India Sugar Finance Corporation (which also owned 12 mills in the Dominican Republic).
