Guatemala, a Troubled Central American Country.

Abstract

Guatemala is a Central American country which has been the recipient of U.S. involvement in its internal political affairs since 1954. It is also a country which is believed by many in the U.S. to be of vital strategic importance to the U.S. This study evaluates the U.S. involvement in Guatemala, starting with the CIA in 1954, to the present. It examines the influence of Marxist guerrillas in Guatemala and their potential for coming to power. In addition it evaluates the strategic importance of Guatemala to the U.S. and provides associated foreign policy recommendations to insure that Guatemala remains a friend of the U.S. (Author)
