Guevara, Ernesto ‘Che’ Guevara (b. 14 June 1928, d. 9 Oct. 1967). Latin American revolutionary An Argentinian physician, he became a revolutionary following the
CIA-conducted overthrow of the left-wing
Guzmán regime in Guatemala in 1954, of which he was a member. He fled to Mexico and joined Fidel
Castro, whom he helped overthrow the
Batista regime in 1959. After serving as Minister for Industries in 1961–5, he went to Bolivia in an attempt to export the Cuban revolution to other Latin American countries. However, he failed and was captured and executed by Bolivian government forces. Guevara's writings, and especially his confident and aggressive
Communism which was hostile to the USA, but also independent from the Soviet Union, inspired a generation of radicals and student leaders in the 1960s and 1970s.
