500 years of oppression: Spanish conquest 1524, a token independence due to Spain crushed by Napoleon, followed by a procession of dictators until a real revolution of 1944 and democratic election, that lasted until CIA overthrow of 1954 (Truman planned, Johnson legislated, Bush voted, Eisenhower executed) and another procession of dictators.

History Spanish Oppression: Viceroy of New Spain and CaptaincyGeneralGuatemala and AudienciaGuate - 16thCenturyStanislawski - Bartolome de las Casas - Bartolome de las Casas - BernalDiazdelCastillo - Bertrand - SpainGoldDecadence - MayaRevolt1700s - 1773quakeCapitalMoved - SpanishSmallpox1780 - From Alvaredo conquest of 1520s to 1810 Spain managed the huge American empire for profit, with untold numbers of shiploads of gold taken from the natives, which attracted pirates who teamed up with England to take away British Honduras. Operating thousandands of miles of territory from Oregon to the tip of Chile, calling Central America the Kingdom of Guatemala run by a captain general. Spain weakened by Napoleon wars had the new SpanishConstitution of 1812 that was too liberal for feudal landowners of Central America. After 3 centuries of Spainish oppression there were 2 more centuries of rebellions and civil war.

History Independence & Borders: With Spain crumbling under Napoleon, England, and civil war, the rebellions of 1810 in Mexico and 1811 in Salvador resulted in the Plan of Iguala and Mexican Independence in 1821 led by Iturbide which included all of Central America under the First Mexican Empire (replicating 1500s Aztec dominance over the Maya). The last captain general of Guatemala (appointed by King of Spain) Gainza (Gainza), with Mexican troops on the border, turned on his king and with a dozen Spanish-Guatemalans declared a hollow independence from Spain, welcoming General Vicente Filísola with 500 troops as Mexican governor of Guatemala. There was some stalling of Iturbide until the Mexican empire collapsed by 1823. This power vacuum allowed feudal landowners in Guatemala and Panama to form United Provinces of Central America as a nation including Guatemala, Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa Rica. This too soon collapsed into civil war until Morazan from Honduras invaded Guatemala City in 1830, who enacted some liberal policies (land reform, divorce) that were too much for the conservative landowners who continued with civil war until Morazan was defeated in 1840 by Carrera, with Clan Aycinena, who reversed the liberalism and lured in German coffee growers with land grants, and was declared emperor for life, until he died 1865, and followed by Carrera's hand picked loyal aide. Revolt in the western highlands culminated by Justo Rufino Barrios leading a ragtag army of 2000 (with 1000 new rifles from the US) into Guatemala City in the Revolution of 1871. Rufino Barrios reduced church control but let whites register Mayan lands; conservatives allied with Honduras but lost.

It took guts for Gainza to turn on his king but he didn't to Iturbide and quickly faded away. It hardly seems like the Mexican Empire was independence for Guatemala. Armies marched into Guatemala City (1830-Morazan, 1840-Carrera, 1871-Barrios) for control rather than independence. 1871 was called the liberal revolution (of highlands Maya) but Justo Rufino Barrios was backed by Mexico and despised the poor indigenous who put him into power. His decade of rule was followed by another century of violence, revolts, coups, intrigue, gross corruption (putting various presidents into jail or exile), leaving Guatmala tetering on the edge of being nearly a failed government.

Bustamente&Gainza&Carrera of the early 1800s were in a position similar to the 20th century Soviet countries that are still finding their way decades later. Maps and borders hardly existed so there was a century of competing claims and many army invasions. Even now the border between Guatemala and Belize is in dispute. Soconusco was taken from Guatemala by a Mexico invasion by Santa Anna 1842. Carrera signed away Belize to limit the Yucatan Maya Caste Wars revolt of the time. Where was freedom, liberty, democracy in all this?

History Guate-Belize border: is a Maya human rights issue for division of their lands villages and families, created by a claim by some pirates and runaway slaves (who paid stolen Spanish gold for British imperialist support) that led to an artificial border that did not include the very people living in the area, including Manche Ch'ol , Yalain and Mopan. Mayans have populated the Belize area (ambergris) for thousands of years and never given it up. The 1859 contract, so often mentioned, was between Guatemala general Carrera ("supreme and perpetual leader") and English Queen Victoria who were jointly more concerned with the conquering the Maya uprising of the Caste War. Maya who lived there were never party to the treaty between England queen Victoria and Guatemala king Carrera, and in fact division of the Maya was the intention, to stop the Caste War. wiki - Aycinena-Wyke Treaty 1859 - GuateTreaties - PortilloBackground2010 - SylvestreConsul1997 - Perez2009 - Leslie2016 -

History Guate-Honduras border: The first Honduran constitution, in December 1825, asserted the territory was identical with the Diocese of Honduras, but no further description. During the Central American Federation, which ended 1840, the only boundary dispute between Guatemala and Honduras was over Omoa port (near Puerto Cortes). Copan disagreement in 1843 led to Treaty of Friendship July 19 1845 with a border commission that met Sept-Oct 1847 in Ocotepeque which agreed only on Cima de la Cuchilla de las Dantas, near Cerro Brujo. 1895 treaty (ratified 1896) established a new border commission and meetings finally occurred 1908-10 near Copan which affirmed Cerro Brujo. In 1910 Honduras wanted to survey the left bank of Motagua River to Lake Izabal and British Honduras, which Guatemala refused. 1914 treaty (ratified 1915) affirmed the 1895 one, and submitted disagreements to the US president. Clashes along Montagua led to US Dept of State meetings 1918-1920 and American Geographical Society report Oct 1919, and International Central American Tribunal in 1923. Aerial photo survey Dec 1932. Tribunal 1931-33 of US Chief Justice Hughes, Dr. Bello-Codesido of Chile (picked by Honduras), and Dr. Castro Urefia of Costa Rica (picked by Guatemala), drew line from Cerro Montecristo to the mouth of the Motagua River.

Guatemala is the heartland of the Mayan world, with ten times as many pyramids as Egypt. Guatemala is the only country in Central America with a living Mayan culture. Ancient customs still remain and may be seen in all of the local markets and churches. There are 22 ethnic groups living in Guatemala that speak 23 different Mayan-based languages. On the Caribbean coast, the population is Afro-Caribbean and the people are known as garifunas.

Ah, Guatemala. Such a natural paradise of eternal spring, yet so victimized by imperialism. So rich in nature yet so depleted by centuries of exploitation. After the gold, lumber, bananas and coffee were exported for little gain to the populace, what remains is now the modern hope for an ecotourism renaissance. Those who walk lightly on the damaged earth are welcome to relax in the healing paradise.
Ah, Guatemala. Such a rich and complex and colorful culture yet so many have been compelled to wear polyester and sneak across borders. Millions still speak the old languages yet historians lie about how the culture died over a thousand years ago. The old culture thrives, mostly just good natured friendly people, intermingled with catholicism, evangelism, demons.

The lack of shipping ports provided some protection for this country of the Quetzal, so, unlike the rest of the Americas, an indigenous culture is still very alive with millions of people who speak the old languages and know as little Spanish as the foreign visitors. The rough mountains provided some protection when they repeatedly and pridefully rebelled against the imperialists.
