Led his Guerilla Warfare and became Fidel’s right hand man
Were feared and loved throughout
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.
