Answer:
"In the late 1800s, people in many parts of the world decided to leave their homes and immigrate to the United States. Fleeing crop failure, land and job shortages, rising taxes, and famine, many came to the U. S. because it was perceived as the land of economic opportunity. Others came seeking personal freedom or relief from political and religious persecution, and nearly 12 million immigrants arrived in the United States between 1870 and 1900. During the 1870s and 1880s, the vast majority of these people were from Germany, Ireland, and England - the principal sources of immigration before the Civil War. Even so, a relatively large group of Chinese immigrated to the United States between the start of the California gold rush in 1849 and 1882, when federal law stopped their immigration."

Answer:
The military dictatorship of Carlos Castillo Armas was installed, backed by the US Central Intelligence Agency, and was followed by a series of military dictators, and short after the Guatemalan Civil War began in 1960
Explanation:
The Guatemalan Revolution began in 1944, after overthrowing the military dictatorship of Jorge Ubico, and giving way to the country's first democratic election. But the US government didn't like the Guatemalan Revolution, as they saw the new democratic government as Communist, and in August 1953, US President Dwight Eisenhower authorized the CIA to perform operation PBSUCCESS, which trained and armed 480 men lead by Carlos Castillo Armas, who then invaded Guatemala on June 18 1954, and with the fear of a US invasion , the Guatemalan army refused to fight. This event strengthened a widespread anti-US sentiment in Latin America. This tense climate lead to the beginning of the Guatemalan Civil War in 1960, after a failed attempt to overthrow President Miguel Ydígoras Fuentes. The Civil War was fought between the Government of Guatemala and various leftist rebel groups supported by ethnic Maya indigenous groups and Ladino peasants. The first Guerrilla group was formed in 1962, the MR13 (Revolutionary movement November 13) which remained active until 1971. The Civil War ended on December 29, 1996, during the presidency of Alvaro Arzú, after the signing of a peace treaty between the Government of Guatemala, and the URNG (Guatemalan National Revolutionary Unity)
