- Daily Life During Guatemala’s Civil War
- Date
- 1982-07-01
- Creator
- Nickelsberg, Robert
- Description
- A woman wearing an indigenous traje walks past a pharmacy with freshly cleaned laundry near the capital in south-central Guatemala, July 1, 1982. The Cold War hemispheric battles of dominance between the United States and the Soviet Union led the CIA in 1954 to orchestrate a coup d’état to overthrow democratically elected Guatemalan President Jacobo Árbenz, sending the country into turmoil and civil war. Between the years 1960 and 1996 more than 200,000 civilians were killed, up to 45,000 civilians were forcibly disappeared, and between 500,000 and 1.5 million people were internally displaced or fled the country.
