decree 900とは 意味・読み方・使い方

Decree 900 was a Guatemalan land reform law ordered on June 27, 1952 by President Jacobo Arbenz Guzmán. This decree redistributed unused lands of sizes greater than 223 acres (0.902 km²) to local peasants. Proponents of the law stated that is was intended to “eliminate all feudal type property...especially work-servitude and the remnant of slavery.” It expropriated the unused lands of large plantations (estates with lands fully in use were exempted from the law), paying the oligarchs whose lands were expropriated through government bonds.
