Question

what was the result of america’s actions in guatemala?
○ the start of thirty years of military rule
○ the establishment of a democratic republic
○ the creation of a communist state
○ increased stability in government

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze the historical context of US actions in Guatemala. The US intervention (e.g., in 1954) led to the overthrow of the democratically elected government, which was followed by around thirty years of military rule marked by repression and instability. A democratic republic was not established (the intervention disrupted democracy), a communist state was not created (the government was reformist, not communist), and stability decreased, not increased.

Answer:

A. the start of thirty years of military rule
