Independent in 1821, Guatemala suffered a US-backed coup in 1954 and a civil war from 1960 to 1996 that killed about 200,000 people, mostly Maya civilians. Corruption and impunity marked the following decades. Bernardo Arévalo’s anti-corruption victory in 2023 survived attempts to stop him taking office.

Caucus is free, has no ads and collects nothing about you. If it helped you learn something, you can chip in with crypto.
Our goal is simple: to help people understand politics, not just react to it. Democracies work better when citizens can tell a policy from a slogan, know where leaders actually stand and are able to meet ideas they disagree with. Political literacy is what protects us from manipulation and polarization, and it is the first step to taking part in public life. Caucus turns ten dimensions, hundreds of leaders and thinkers and every country's political history into something you can explore in minutes, and keeps it free and private for everyone. Your donation keeps it independent, ad-free and growing.
