    The document summarizes key details about the genocide that occurred in Guatemala during its 36-year civil war from 1960 to 1996. The genocide primarily targeted the Mayan population living in the petrolera del Triángulo Ixil region of Guatemala, and it is estimated that around 200,000 Mayan people were killed as the government aimed to gain control of the natural resources on their lands. While called a genocide, some Guatemalans dispute this label as the killings only impacted Mayans living in that specific area rather than seeking a full eradication of the Mayan population nationwide.

    What
    happened ?
    The genocide in Guatemala occurred
    during the country's 36 year civil
    war, which took place between 1960
    and 1996. The war was fought
    between the Guatemalan
    government, which was primarily
    made up of members of the
    country's Ladino population, and
    rebel groups, many of which were
    Mayan descendants.
    Where ?

    Guatemala, in the

    region "petrolera del


    Triángulo Ixil"
    Reasons why

    the eradication of the minority groups, this


    case being the mayan population situated
    in the North of the country, in order to get
    the natural resources "petroleum" from
    the grounds they lived upon.
    How many people were killed ?

    It is estimated that around


    200,000 people, primarily
    Mayan, were killed during the
    genocide
    fun fact
    The Guetemaltecan people, don´t recognize
    this event labeled as a genocide, due to the
    fact that they consider a genocide to be the
    full eradication of a certain population.

    They also argue that the only ones affected


    were the ones that lived in that area and
    nowhere else
