- Description
- A woman places her ballot after voting in the national presidential elections in San Salvador, El Salvador, March 25, 1984. José Napoleón Duarte of the Partido Demócrata Cristiano, PDC, was elected president after a second run-off election that ended on May 12, 1984. This victory can be largely attributed to the more than $3 million in aid, both overt and covert, provided by the United States to finance the elections in an effort to produce a moderate reformist government compliant with Washington’s interests.

- Description
- Roberto D'Aubuisson, center, founder of right-wing conservative party Alianza Republicana Nacionalista, National Republican Alliance, ARENA, campaigns during a presidential rally in Santa Tecla, El Salvador, March 1, 1984. ARENA was established in 1981 and was primarily supported by right-wing extremists and members of the country's economic elite. D'Aubuisson's connection with the death squads made him a controversial figure in United States-Salvadoran relations during the war. He did, however, receive support from influential U.S. Republicans looking to safeguard economic interests, proving no coincidence in the name Alianza Republicana Nacionalista (National Republican Alliance).

- Description
- Salvadoran politician and presidential candidate José Napoleón Duarte (1925 - 1990) speaks at a campaign rally in San Salvador, El Salvador, December 19, 1983. Duarte of the Partido Demócrata Cristiano, Christian Democratic Party, PDC, won the election after a run-off that ended on May 12, 1984. The PDC victory can be largely attributed to the more than $3 million in aid provided by the C.I.A. and the United States government to finance the elections in an effort to produce a moderate reformist government compliant with Washington’s interests.

- Salvadoran politician and presidential candidate José Napoleón Duarte (1925 - 1990) speaks at a campaign rally in San Salvador, El Salvador, December 19, 1983. In the 1984 presidential elections the U.S. initially supported candidate Francisco Guerrero from the Partido de Concertación Nacional, National Coalition Party, PCN, who was considered acceptably moderate to both the private sector and the army. After Guerrero lost the primary election in March of 1984, Washington threw their support behind Duarte to blunt the appeal of far-right candidate Roberto D’Aubuisson and his party Alianza Republicana Nacionalista, National Republican Alliance, ARENA.

Sandoval was one of the CIA's leading protégés in the 1954 coup to overthrow democratically elected Guatemalan President Jacobo Árbenz. Known as the "godfather" of the Central American death squads, he trained the notorious Salvadoran Roberto D'Aubuisson along with other paramilitary and death squad leaders. Sandoval was a leader and organizer of the Guatemalan chapter of the World Anti-Communist Leage (WACL), which served as an international lobby for covert and paramilitary operations including funding for the contras in Nicaragua and Operation Condor in the Southern Cone.

Duarte was officially declared the winner after a second run-off election between the PDC and the right-wing party Alianza Republicana Nacionalista, Nationalist Republican Alliance, ARENA. The PDC victory can be largely attributed to the more than $3 million in aid provided by the C.I.A. to finance the elections in an effort to produce a moderate reformist government compliant with Washington's demands.

- Description
- José Napoleón Duarte addresses a press conference following the national presidential elections in San Salvador, El Salvador, March 28, 1984. Duarte of the Partido Demócrata Cristiano, Christian Democratic Party, PDC, was officially declared the winner after a second run-off election that ended on May 12, 1984. This victory can be largely attributed to the more than $3 million in aid, both overt and covert, provided by the United States to finance the elections in an effort to produce a moderate reformist government compliant with Washington's interests.

- Description
- A crowd listens to speeches from the military-backed civilian candidate General Ángel Aníbal Guevara during his presidential election campaign in Sololá, Guatemala, February 26, 1982. Handpicked to succeed outgoing president Fernando Romeo Lucas García, Guevara was declared the winner of the election on March 7, 1982, which was then widely denounced as fraudulent. A military coup d'état on March 23, 1982 led by General Efraín Ríos Montt prevented him from assuming power.

- Roberto D'Aubuisson, founder of right-wing conservative party Alianza Republicana Nacionalista, National Republican Alliance, ARENA, addresses a crowd during a presidential campaign rally in San Salvador, El Salvador, March 1, 1984. ARENA was established in 1981 and was primarily supported by right-wing extremists and members of the country’s economic elite. D’Aubuisson’s connection with the death squads made him a controversial figure in United States-Salvadoran relations during the war. He did, however, receive support from influential U.S. Republicans looking to safeguard economic interests, proving no coincidence in the party name Alianza Republicana Nacionalista (National Republican Alliance).

- Description
- Pedestrians walk past a presidential election poster for the right-wing political party Alianza Republicana Nacionalista, National Republican Alliance, ARENA, on their way home from work in the Mejicanos neighborhood of San Salvador, El Salvador, May 1, 1984. ARENA was founded in 1981 from a convergence of the landowning oligarchy and the extreme anti-communist right. The party received formative support from Guatemala's fascist ultra-right political party Movimiento de Liberación Nacional, National Liberation Movement, MLN, and from several influential members of the Republican party of the United States. Roberto D'Aubuisson, founding member of ARENA and the presidential candidate for the party in the 1984 elections, was known to have close ties to the death squads and had a reputation for extreme violence.

However, Magaña remained heavily influenced by members of the military high command in key policy decisions, which rendered accountability for state crimes and agrarian reform stagnant issues during his presidency.

Cerezo would later serve as president from 1986 to 1991. He was the first democratically-elected civilian president of Guatemala in 20 years. Cerezo signed several initiatives during his presidency including the Central American Peace Accords, in which the heads of state of the Central American countries agreed on an economic and political framework to resolve conflict in the region. This laid the foundation for the 1996 UN-brokered "Accord for a Firm and Lasting Peace" that formally ended over three decades of conflict in Guatemala.
