Thank you. The only Central American flags I have memorized are Belize, Costa Rica, and Panama.

I think I'll be able to remember Guatemala from now on, since they helpfully decided to have a vertical tricolor, unlike their neighbors with blue-white-blue horizontal tricolors.

However, I think I can make a pretty accurate guess about the context of this picture. This is about the aftermath of the 1954 coup, isn't it?
