Version 3.007/27/1954
The democratically elected Guatemalan government of Jacobo Arbenz
Guzmán was overthrown by CIA-paid and -trained mercenaries,
making way for the U.S. to install a series of military
dictatorships that waged a genocidal war against the indigenous
Mayan Indians and against political opponents into the '90s. Nearly
200,000 citizens died over the nearly four decades of civil
war.
