Guatemala Civil War of 1960 – 1980.

The Civil War of Guatemala occurs in November 1960 caused by a group of officers who tried to take a coup d’etat to President Miguel Ydígoras Fuentes which was failed. The coup d’etat was what produced a series of events that encouraged the polarization of Guatemalan society, highlighting the differences between social classes because they had marked in the population. 

At the end of the 70s and the beginning of the 80s many populations were forced to live in model villages, which were communities formed by the army where they were under military control and did not have access to basic services, the villages came to hostSome 60,000 people, events that would take place from 1960 to 1996 periods in which the most disadvantaged communities would face the consequences of social inequalities, resulted in diseases, malnutrition and death.

This is how social discontent for iniquity, social injustice and the poor distribution of economic resources were intensified with the civil war in this nation.

The occupation of the Northern Transversal Strip.

Among the aspects that should be considered on the situation in Guatemala in the sixties is the occupation of the transverse strip by the indigenous population. Since that region constituted the settlement of the native.

On the other hand, the residents of the territory begin to raise a voice of protests that oppose the creation of transnational companies, since they go to the exploitation of renewable and non -renewable natural resources such as gold, oil and water, also knowing the social injustices that are going to go to the moment they entered the government and transnational companies to the territory.

The eviction of the lands to which the indigenous communities were subjected in order to exploit the natural resources of the area were seen by these peoples, not only as the process by which they were taken from them what they belonged to them, in addition to theirworldview, when exploiting natural resources in a massive way they threatened against harmony, which so far is trying to maintain with nature. So from their position they had enough reasons to put the government plans.
