The war in question [Guatemala] was not a Civil War -- it was a conflict about how to repel/redirect an influx of tourists and settlers who were/are carrying the historical image of a 'special' regional tree embedded in their brains, as transmitted within 'respectable' social settings from the northeastern United States.
Using the schoolbook song titled 'This Land is My Land' as reference, factions and other "cold war" populations sought to assert 'their turn' in tropical regions, also using a mental set of planetwide trees as impetus. [The northern California city of San Francisco suffered from a similar influx.] Because the 'special trees' are sometimes transplants, macabre results from the friction of humor and tragedy have been evident.
Conflict has also resulted from opinion and practice about archaeological excavations, because some populations believe each nation should be doing their own work, while others believe that immigrant laborers should be 'assigned', while still others agree that international consortiums of archaeo-logists should be permitted entry to the ancient sites.
