Ernesto "Che" Guevara (Spanish pronunciation: [te geaa][4]; June 14,[1] 1928 October 9, 1967), commonly
known as El Che or simply Che, was an Argentine Marxist revolutionary, physician, author, intellectual,
guerrilla leader, diplomat, military theorist, and major figure of the Cuban Revolution. Since his death, his
stylized visage has become a ubiquitous countercultural symbol and global insignia within popular culture.[5]
As a young medical student, Guevara traveled throughout Latin America and was transformed by the endemic
poverty he witnessed.[6] His experiences and observations during these trips led him to conclude that the
region's ingrained economic inequalities were an intrinsic result of monopoly capitalism, neocolonialism, and
imperialism, with the only remedy being world revolution.[7] This belief prompted his involvement in
Guatemala's social reforms under President Jacobo Arbenz Guzmn, whose eventual CIA-assisted overthrow
solidified Guevara's radical ideology.
