U.S. Slaughter 200,000 in Guatemala

After overthrowing the democratic government of Guatemala in 1954 under the pretext of 'Communism', the United State installed a series of right wing military juntas, which, with the aid, training & support of the U.S. tortured, murdered & killed approx. 200,000 people.
