Throughout the history of Belize, Guatemala claims to own all or part of the territory of Belize. This statement was occasionally reflected in the map drawn by the Government of Guatemala, indicating that Belize is the 23rd division of Guatemala. As of 2016, the border dispute with Guatemala remains unresolved and is controversial. Guatemala's demand for the territory of Belize depends in part on Article 7 of the 1859 "Anglo-Guatemala Treaty" that the UK provides for building a road between Belize City and Guatemala. At different times, this problem requires mediation by the British and Caribbean community leaders, the US National Organization (OAS), Mexico and the United States. It is worth noting that Guatemala and Belize are involved in confidence-building measures approved by the American National Organization, such as the language exchange project between Guatemala and Belize.
• Since 1821, Guatemala consistently declared Belize as the territory. When Guatemala announced independence from Spain, Mexico and Guatemala used parts of Belize as their part. But in 1862, the country was formally approved as Honduras. In 1940, Guatemala declared that the treaty that made Belize a British colony was invalidated because it has not reached that condition yet. Belize declared independence in 1981, but some Guatemalan politicians still believe Belize is part of Guatemala. • Guatemala has the longest civil war in Latin America. From 1960 to 1996, government forces, right wing SDF and left wing guerrillas fought over 36 years. Many people say that the wake of war is to help the CIA defeat the democratically elected President Carlos Castillo Armas.
