      The correct answer is: A CIA appointee headed the new dictatorship.

      After the coup that overthrew Jacobo Árbenz in 1954, the United States played a significant role in establishing a new government in Guatemala. They installed a military leader, Carlos Castillo Armas, who was friendly to U.S. interests and helped to maintain American influence in the region. This setup allowed the U.S. to counter perceived communist threats in Central America during the Cold War.
