      ***** Cyprus belongs to Cyprus, because it's inhabited by Greek Cypriots and Turkish Cypriots.
      Constantinople/Istanbul should stay where it is. If it was given back to Greece, then all the cities that had been conquered in the past (they are *a lot*) should be given back to where they originally belonged, which is pointless. That's not how history works :)

    9:55 I'm from Mexico and it's true, lot's of my fellow citizens think very badly about guatemalans. In fact, a large part of the mexican population discriminates every central american citizen for no good reason, but hate it when the USA discriminate us.
    I think that's sad, Guatemala is one of my favourite places on Earth, there are some mexicans like me that appreciate a lot Guatemala and the rest of Central America. We love you! :D

      One of the main reasons Mexicans despise of Guatemalans in a general sense, is that while Mexicans feel they got robbed of their northern territory by the Americans, Mexicans feel they got betrayed of their southern territory by Guatemalans. Punishable by a lifetime of scorn.

Today, people in India speak different languages and we have tried to preserve our cultures even after independence from Englishmen . I am extremely fascinated about the mayans, and would love to learn a mayan language someday. Lots of love to Guatemala 😊.

    Also you should have added Luis Von Ahn to the list of famous Guatemalans! He is the creator of Captcha and the founder of Duolingo.

    That 'civil war' as you term it was a US-backed coup d'etat against a democratically elected government to protect the profits of the Chiquita Banana corporation (then known as the United Fruit Corporation). All because Guatemala tried to pass minimum wage laws for their exploited workers.

      THE FRUIT COMPANIES WERE NOTHING MORE THAN CIA TROJAN HORSE CORPORATION'S CREATED TO TAKE OVER 3RD WORLD COUNTRIES AND DRIVE THEM ECONOMICALLY INTO SUBMISSION.
