involved covert action by the CIA
Yes, Guatemala experienced invasions and foreign interventions throughout its history. Notably, in the late 19th century, the United Fruit Company, a U.S.-based corporation, exerted significant influence over the country, leading to political instability. In 1954, the CIA orchestrated a coup to overthrow democratically elected President Jacobo Árbenz, which is often viewed as a form of invasion that destabilized the nation and led to decades of civil conflict.

The U.S. has had a complex and often contentious relationship with Guatemala, particularly during the 20th century. In 1954, the U.S. orchestrated a coup to overthrow democratically elected President Jacobo Árbenz, fearing his land reform policies threatened American business interests. This intervention contributed to decades of civil conflict, human rights abuses, and instability, leading to mass displacement and suffering among the Guatemalan population. The U.S. has since provided varying levels of aid and support, but the legacy of its earlier actions still affects U.S.-Guatemala relations today.
1954
After the fall of the French garrison at Dien Bien Phu in 1954, it was partitioned into North Vietnam and South Vietnam. The Vietnam War (1954-1975) grew out of the attempt by Communist Vietcong guerrillas backed by North Vietnam to overthrow the U.S.-supported regime in the south. The South Vietnamese government collapsed in 1975, and the country was reunited in 1976
