Che Guevara

Ernesto "Che" Guevara (Spanish: Ernesto "Che" Guevara; May 14, 1928 - October 9, 1967), nicknamed El Che or Che, was born in Rosario, Argentina. He was one of the core figures of the Cuban revolution, an international communist revolutionary, military theorist, doctor, writer, and guerrilla leader. As a young medical student, Guevara enthusiastically rode his motorcycle and traveled throughout Latin America, shocked by the ubiquity of poverty he witnessed firsthand. What he saw and heard during these travels led him to conclude that deep-rooted social inequality everywhere was the result of state monopoly capitalism, neocolonialism and imperialism, and that the only remedy was world revolution. This belief inspired him to intervene in Guatemala's social reforms under President Jacobo Arbenz Guzman; Arbenz was eventually overthrown in the 1954 Guatemala coup, secretly instigated by the CIA, ending Guatemala's extraordinary social changes at the time. Later, Guevara met Raul Castro and Fidel Castro in Mexico City, joined their July 26 Movement, embraced the ideal of overthrowing the pro-American dictator Fulgencio Batista, and landed in Cuba on the Granma. Guevara soon rose to prominence in the rebel army, was promoted to colonel commander, and played a key role in the guerrilla war against Batista's dictatorship. After the success of the Cuban Revolution in 1959, he was granted Cuban citizenship. Guevara played an important role in the Cuban revolutionary government, including retrialing and executing war criminals, presiding over land reform as Minister of Industry, serving as chairman of the National Bank, director of instruction of the Cuban Revolutionary Armed Forces, member of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee of the Cuban Socialist Revolutionary Unity Party, and traveling across the globe as a diplomat promoting Cuban socialism. The militia troops trained by Guevara also repelled American mercenaries during the Bay of Pigs invasion and brought Soviet nuclear ballistic missiles to Cuba, which subsequently triggered the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962. In addition, he is also a writer and diarist with sharp writing and rich creations. He is the author of the far-reaching military theory work "Guerrilla Warfare" and the travel diary "Motorcycle Diary" about his travels in America when he was young. Guevara left Cuba in 1965 and went to the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Bolivia to fight guerrilla wars against imperialism. There are different explanations for why he left Cuba. The mainstream view is that he left Cuba voluntarily to continue
