Cold War Blinders Cold War Blinders How the CIA’s ‘Cold War Tunnel Vision’ clouded American Judgment on Guatemala in 1954 Sjoerd de Vries Lentsch History Master Thesis - American Studies Supervisor: prof. dr. R.V.A. Janssens Second reader: dr. H.B. Beukenhorst Final version: October 2014 Table of contents Introduction 5 Chapter 1: The Case of Guatemala 16 Chapter 2: The Actors: The United States of America 27 Chapter 3: The Central Intelligence Agency’s ‘Modus Operandi’ and Operation PBSUCCESS 40 Conclusion 56 Bibliography 63 Introduction Operation PBSUCCESS. The name demonstrates the great confidence and even arrogance the Central Intelligence Agency displayed in the planning and execution of its 1954 covert operation to overthrow the government of Guatemalan president Jacobo Árbenz Guzmán. The operation was considered a resounding success, as a troublesome president suspected of communism (and therefore seen as inherently under the control of the Soviet Union) was removed from power and a cooperative dictator replaced him. All this was achieved without any direct evidence that the CIA or the United States were involved, though American involvement was widely suspected. Despite this suspicion, the agency was so pleased with operation PBSUCCESS that it would be used as a blueprint for future operations, the most notorious one being the Bay of Pigs invasion in Cuba which ended in a complete failure for the United States, both militarily and politically. As successful as operation PBSUCCESS was considered from an operational point of view, it would become one of the most controversial CIA operations to date and did considerable damage to the reputation of the CIA and the United States, in particular in Latin America.1 Operation PBSUCCESS, or at least the situation it created, is also seen as one of the main causes of the Guatemalan civil war (that lasted 36 years and cost the lives of tens of thousands of Guatemalans). The controversy surrounding this operation does not only derive from the CIA’s ousting of a democratically elected president because the United States, the ‘protector of Democracy,’ disagreed with this president’s policies. One of the main points of criticism is that Jacobo Árbenz did not intend, as the United States believed, to turn Guatemala into a communist state. Also, historians question the American conviction that Árbenz (and his policies and reforms) were communist to begin with, and if he should have been considered a ‘communist’ in the Eastern European/Soviet tradition. Moreover, as the CIA archives were gradually declassified it turned out that the American claim that Árbenz was controlled and financed by Moscow was not based on any hard evidence. This claim had already met with skepticism in the international community in the years leading up to and following the coup, despite vigorous American efforts to convince the world otherwise.2 In the existing literature on operation PBSUCCESS the role the CIA has played in the operation is predominantly described as merely an executive one: The United States 1 Max Holland, ‘Operation PBHISTORY: The Aftermath of SUCCESS’, International Journal of Intelligence and CounterIntelligence 17 (2004) 300-332, 323. 2 Holland, 300-332, 310-312. 5 government came to the decision that an intervention was necessary and the CIA was the instrument used to make this happen. This is however a gross undervaluation of the role the Agency played. The CIA operated as an independent body with its own worldview, analytical tradition and with its own set of goals, and its analysis of the situation in Guatemala was wrong precisely because of this. This view of the CIA and its role is something that has only gradually become apparent due to the declassification of CIA archives, and is beginning to be recognized in more recent studies on the subject. The independent role the CIA played will be the focal point of this thesis. The intervention What eventually drove the United States to feel compelled to intervene in Guatemala was a revolutionary land reform program that was planned and enacted by Árbenz. This land reform was the culmination of a radical transformation Guatemala was going through that had started in 1944 with a revolution. In the early 1940s, 2% of all landowners owned 72% of all Guatemalan land. The American United Fruit Company was by far the most powerful economic player in the country; it was the largest landowner in Guatemala and owned the railroads (through its subsidiary the International Railways of Central America), the country’s power supply, and the only major harbor.3 In 1944, the rising tensions after decades of dictatorial rule, combined with economic hardship and calls for democratization, culminated in a revolution led by university teachers. The main inspiration for these teachers was Franklin D. Roosevelt’s famous 1941 State of the Union address, or his ‘Four Freedoms speech,’ in which he stated four fundamental freedoms people everywhere should enjoy. This revolution forced dictator Jorge Ubico to step down, and in the following year democratic elections were held for the first time in Guatemalan history. The goals of the revolution were not only aimed at the deposing of a dictator followed by the democratization of Guatemala, but also at reforming the social structures, which was widely considered (even by American economists) to be impossible without rigorous agrarian and economic reform, as land and social status were intimately entwined. It was self-evident that any attempt at large-scale land reform would be met with fierce resistance from the ruling classes and foreign companies with large interests in Guatemala, the United Fruit Company in particular.45 These land reforms were advocated and enacted by Jacobo Árbenz, elected in 3 Stephen Schlesinger and Stephen Kinzer, Bitter Fruit. The Untold Story of the American Coup in Guatemala (Garden City, New York: Doubleday & Company, 1982) 38, 65-67. 4 Ibid, 52-55. 6 1951 and would eventually lead American president Eisenhower to intervene and approve the planning and execution of operation PBSUCCESS. (The decision to intervene in Guatemala was essentially already made during the presidency of Harry S. Truman, who approved a similar operation prior to PBSUCCESS, named PBFORTUNE. This operation was cancelled however, as it was compromised at an early stage.6) The suspected communist nature of the Árbenz government (and the – according to the United States – therefore inherent ties to Moscow) and the danger the land reforms posed to American economic interests in Guatemala are considered to have led to this controversial decision. The United States government was determined to prevent the creation of a ‘communist beachhead’ in its own backyard. Many books and articles have been written on the 1954 coup, and a few studies are considered to be ‘standard works’ on the subject. Among these standard works are Bitter Fruit by Stephen Schlesinger and Stephen Kinzer, The CIA in Guatemala by Richard Immerman, Shattered Hope by Piero Gleijeses, and Secret History by Nicholas Cullather. In these works the main interpretations of the coup are represented. An important note on Secret History by Nicholas Cullather is that it has been written in 1993 as part of an internal CIA project after a series of declassification of CIA archives concerning the coup, and was initially not intended for publication. In all the aforementioned works the coup itself is essentially considered to have been a mistake caused by gross misinterpretation of the situation in Guatemala by the United States government and the CIA. However, the views differ on how the American government came to the decision to intervene and which players or ‘factions’ influenced the decision and to what extent this influence was decisive or superfluous. Only Cullather acknowledges the aforementioned undervaluation of the role the CIA played, but he does not expand on this as his work had a different focal point. Bitter Fruit In the 1982 book Bitter Fruit. The Untold Story of the American Coup in Guatemala journalists Stephen Schlesinger and Stephen Kinzer argue that the most important factor in the decision to intervene was the threat president Arbenz and his communist policies posed to American economic interest in Guatemala. The ‘containment of Communism’ played an important role in the validation of the coup as well, but it was only the result of the economic 5 Nick Cullather, Secret History. The CIA’s classified account of its operations in Guatemala, 1952-1954 (Stanford: Stanford University Press, 2006) 25-26. 6 Ibid, 29-31. 7 angle; without a threat to the economic interests Communism would not have been detected. The United Fruit Company was one of the first (and largest) landowners and employers in Guatemala to be affected by the reforms. The company already had many conflicts with the Guatemalan government caused by the modest reforms of Juan José Arévalo (the first Guatemalan president after the 1944 Revolution). These conflicts would later escalate during the extensive land reforms of the Árbenz administration.7 From early on United Fruit would start lobbying against the Guatemalan government. This lobbying (by influential and respected figures) was not only aimed at the United States government, but also at the American public. The United Fruit Company proved to be very successful at convincing the American public and government that Guatemala posed a communist threat.8 According to Schlesinger and Kinzer this is essentially where ‘the road to intervention’ originates. The relationship between the American and Guatemalan governments escalated, as the economic dispute between United Fruit and Guatemala intensified. By the time relations were at a low, the idea of a communist state so close to the United States was simply unacceptable for the American government during the Cold War, especially during the early 1950s. This scenario would eventually and inevitably lead to a United States sponsored coup (or ‘regime change’).

  • Background on the Guatemalan Coup of 1954
    Educational materials developed through the Baltimore County History Labs Program, a partnership between Baltimore County Public Schools and the UMBC Center for History Education. RS#01: Background on the Guatemalan Coup of 1954 Read the background on the Guatemalan coup, and complete the chart and questions at the end of the reading. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Latin American governments were characterized by economic policies that allowed for liberal foreign investments from wealthy countries like the United States. Military dictators led a number of these Latin American governments. The United Fruit Company (UFCO), an extremely successful American owned and run company, profited greatly from investments it made in Guatemala. The business of United Fruit was bananas, and from bananas it had built a business empire in the Central American nations of Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa Rica and Panama. The United States government was also interested in bananas, and had sponsored initiatives to promote the fruit in the American diet. Guatemala became known as a “banana republic,” a disdainful term for poor, developing countries that relied on a single cash crop, such as bananas, and were ruled by corrupt governments. Under the Guatemalan dictator Jorge Ubico, the United Fruit Company gained control of 42% of Guatemala’s land, and was exempted from paying taxes and import duties. Seventy-seven percent of all Guatemalan exports went to the United States; and 65% of imports to the country came from the United States. The United Fruit Company was, essentially, a state within the Guatemalan state. It not only owned all of Guatemala's banana production and monopolized banana exports, it also owned the country's telephone and telegraph system, and almost all of its railroad track.

A rebel force of about 1,500 men, primarily New Hampshire and Massachusetts militiamen, led by General John Stark, and reinforced by Vermont militiamen led by Colonel Seth Warner and members of the Green Mountain Boys, decisively defeated a detachment of General John Burgoyne's army led by Lieutenant Colonel Friedrich Baum, and supported by additional men under Lieutenant Colonel Heinrich von Breymann at Walloomsac, New York. After a rain-caused standoff, Brigadier General John Stark's men enveloped Baum's position, taking many prisoners, and killing Baum. Reinforcements for both sides arrived as Stark and his men were mopping up, and the battle restarted, with Warner and Stark driving away Breymann's reinforcements with heavy casualties. The battle reduced Burgoyne's army in size by almost 1,000 troops, led his Indian support to largely abandon him, and deprived him of much-needed supplies, such as mounts for his cavalry regiments, draft animals and provisions; all factors that contributed to Burgoyne's eventual defeat at the Battle of Saratoga.

    Graves 1 Jasmine Graves Professor Cox HIST 1493 27 April 2018 Democracy Deposed: U.S. Media Coverage of 1950’s Guatemala After World War II, the United States established itself as a crusader for democracy and capitalism around the world. The urge to fight communism while advocating for democracy meant a dilemma when faced with countries with democratically elected leftist governments. By no means does leftism mean communism, however, during the Cold War, the United States feared that left of center governments could fall to communism with the Soviet Union’s influence. Ultimately, the United States was more intent on stopping the spread of communism than supporting true democracies, so it supported military coups against democratically elected leftist governments to put right-wing regimes in their place. The fact that the CIA backed these coups is no longer a secret, and the CIA has even admitted to involvement in some of them. Despite these operations being clandestine at the time, that did not stop the media from subjectively reporting in opposition to these leftist governments, especially Guatemala’s. Newspapers in the United States reported with clear bias against the leftist democratically elected government in Guatemala before, during, and after the CIA military coup. The people of Guatemala elected Jacobo Árbenz Guzmán to be their president in their 1950 national election. Árbenz ran on a platform calling for agrarian reform, and in his inaugural speech he claimed he wanted “to convert Guatemala from a country bound by a predominantly Graves 2 feudal economy into a modern, capitalist one.”1 Árbenz sought to pass policies to help the Guatemalan peasantry, who had suffered greatly under Jorge Ubico, their recently overthrown dictator.

  • Coffee and Civil War the Cash Crop That Built the Foundations for the Mass Slaughter of Mayans During the Guatemalan Civil War
    Coffee and Civil War The Cash Crop That Built the Foundations for the Mass Slaughter of Mayans during the Guatemalan Civil War By Mariana Calvo A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for honors Department of History, Duke University Under the advisement of Dr. Adriane Lentz-Smith April 19, 2017 Calvo 1 I can tell you these stories, telling it is the easy part, but living it was much harder. -Alejandro, 20151 1 Alejandro is one of the eight people whose testimony is featured in this thesis. Calvo 2 Abstract This thesis explores the connections between coffee production and genocide in Guatemala. This thesis centers its analysis in the 19th and 20th centuries when coffee was Guatemala’s main cash crop. Coffee became Guatemala’s main export after the Liberal Revolution of 1871. Prior to 1871, the ruling oligarchy in Guatemala had been of pure European descent, but the Liberal Revolution of 1871 gave power to the ladinos, people of mixed Mayan and European descent. With the rise of coffee as an export crop and with the rise of ladinos to power, indigenous Guatemalans from the western highlands were displaced from their lands and forced to labor on coffee plantations in the adjacent piedmont. Ladino elites used racism to justify the displacement and enslavement of the indigenous population, and these beliefs, along with the resentment created by the continued exploitation of indigenous land and labor culminated in the Guatemalan Civil War (1960-1996). This conflict resulted in the genocide of Maya communities. Historians have traced the war to the 1954 CIA backed coup that deposed democratically elected president, Jacobo Arbenz over fears that he was a Communist.
