Ernesto "Che" Guevara was a Marxist revolutionary, physician, and guerrilla leader who played a significant role in the Cuban Revolution.
Born in Argentina, he became radicalized after witnessing social injustices in Latin America.
Guevara joined Fidel Castro's movement in Mexico and helped overthrow the Batista regime in Cuba.
He held key positions in the new Cuban government before leaving to spread revolution elsewhere.
Guevara was eventually captured and executed in Bolivia in 1967.
His image has become a global countercultural symbol, and he remains a controversial figure, admired by some for his revolutionary ideals and criticized by others for his violent methods.
