- 1. Ernesto 'Che' Guevara was an iconic figure in the 20th century, known for his pivotal role in the Cuban Revolution alongside Fidel Castro. Born in Argentina in 1928, Guevara was a physician whose exposure to the poverty and injustice across Latin America propelled him into political activism. His Marxist ideology led him to join the revolution that successfully overthrew Cuban dictator Fulgencio Batista in 1959, where he became a key military leader and later held significant government positions in Cuba. However, Guevara's vision extended beyond the borders of Cuba; he became a symbol of guerrilla warfare and revolutionary movements worldwide. In 1967, seeking to inspire and support revolutionary efforts in Bolivia, Guevara launched a guerrilla campaign in the hopes of sparking a broader revolutionary wave across Latin America. Unfortunately, the campaign faced numerous challenges and was met with fierce resistance from the Bolivian military, which was supported by the CIA. In October 1967, Guevara was captured during a skirmish in the Bolivian jungle. On October 9, 1967, he was executed in La Higuera, becoming a martyr for revolutionary causes and an enduring symbol of resistance against imperialism and social injustice. His life and death have since inspired countless movements and individuals, solidifying his legacy as one of the most influential revolutionary leaders of the 20th century.
