The Republic of Guatemala is located in Central America, bordering the the Gulf of Honduras (Caribbean Sea) between Honduras and Belize, and the North Pacific Ocean, between El Salvador and Mexico. Guatemala is mostly mountains, has narrow coastal plains, and a rolling limestone plateau. The climate of Guatemala is tropical - hot and humid in the lowlands and cooler in the highlands. Like other Central American countries Guatemala is susceptible to hurricanes, volcanic eruptions and violent earthquakes.
Guatemala and the surrounding area were home to the Maya for almost 2000 years before the arrival of the Spanish in the the early 1500s. Guatemala won independence from Spain in 1821, was briefly part of Mexico, and then a member of the United States of Central America federation that was destroyed by civil war. Guatemala has had a variety of military and civilian governments as well as a 36-year guerrilla war during the second half of the 20th century. With more than 100,000 people dead, and some 1 million refugees, the government signed a peace agreement in 1996.

The Maya
(500 B.C. – 900 A.D.)
The Maya Indians built one of the world's most remarkable civilizations in the jungles of Central America. Like the ancient Greeks, who civilization was nearing its peak just as the Maya appeared, the Maya are known for their fabulous temples, and for their amazing knowledge of math and science. The Maya were the only Indians in America to develop a written language. Today, people come from all over the world to view the crumbling ruins of their once-great cities. ... • more Ancient Civilizations posters
