Definition

  • Jacobo Arbenz Guzmán, who was elected president of Guatemala in 1951 and overthrown by a U.S.-organized coup in 1954, was born in Quetzaltenango, Guatemala, on September 14, 1913. He attended the national military academy, where he also taught for a number of years, during which time he married Maria Cristina Vilanova, daughter of a Salvadorean landowner, whose socialist ideas and associations deeply influenced his own views and subsequent policies.
