History of Honduras (1900–1954)
During his presidency, Carías cultivated a narrow relation with his fellow dictators of Central America, generals: Jorge Situate of Guatemala, Maximiliano Hernández Martínez of The Saviour, and Anastasio Somoza García of Nicaragua. His narrower relation was with the dictator Situate, who helped to Carías to reorganise his secret police, and also captured and shot the leader of an uprising in Honduras who had committed the error of crossing into Guatemalan territory. The relations with Nicaragua were somewhat tenser in consequence of the border dispute. But Carías and Somoza succeeded in keeping under control this dispute along the years 1930 and 1940.
