Ernesto “Che” GuevaraArgentine born revolutionist

Notorious CommunistThe face ofRevolution

Attended The

University of

And studied medicine

Practiced medicine in all of Latin America

Latin America. Slowly getting recognition as

an evil force by the world.

Took over the American

territory of Cuba.

Were now considered a legitimate threat by the United Nations.

Were now accepted by the UN as a dictated country and Che gained respect

as a world leader alongside Castro

Spoke at the UN and opposition

ceased.

Che was captured and executed in

1967 by Bolivian

forces backed by the

American CIA.

Despite recognition, still seen as a serious threat to America.

One of the few admitted assassinations by the CIA. Remains one of the greatest success stories in CIA

history, the killing of a legend.

Ernesto " Che " Guevara became the most recognizable face of guerrilla warfare and revolution of the 20th century after first serving alongside Fidel Castro as

one of the leaders of the Cuban Revolution. His death promoted him to mythical status among students

and radical youth worldwide, particularly in Cuba and his homeland of Argentina.

His picture appears on t-shirts, flags, and memorabilia commemorated his contribution to modern revolution. Detested by all those who worship

freedom and worshiped by those detest oppression. Double standard or not, Che Guevara is the face of revolution and that shall be his legacy.
