Question

genocide occurred in guatemala in 1981–1983 because
the guatemalans wouldnt give mayans back the land they stole.
the guatemalans had not trusted the mayans for many centuries.
the mayans took over the government and massacred guatemalans.
the mayans demanded to be part of the guatemalan government.

Explanation:

The Guatemalan genocide (1981-1983) targeted the Maya population, driven by long-standing historical distrust and systemic marginalization of Indigenous groups by the dominant Guatemalan elite and government. The other options are factually incorrect: the land was seized from Mayans by non-Indigenous Guatemalans, Mayans did not take over the government or massacre others, and their demands for inclusion were not the core cause of the genocide.

Answer:

the Guatemalans had not trusted the Mayans for many centuries.
