Size 18 cm x 11,5 cm. 100% GENUINE Ernesto " Che " Guevara ( Spanish pronunciation: [ˈtʃe geˈβaɾa] ; June 14,1928 – October 9, 1967), commonly known as El Che or simply Che , was an Argentine Marxist revolutionary , physician, author, intellectual , guerrilla leader, diplomat and military theorist. A major figure of the Cuban Revolution , his stylized visage has become a ubiquitous countercultural symbol of rebellion and global insignia within popular culture . As a young medical student , Guevara traveled throughout Latin America and was radically transformed by the endemic poverty and alienation he witnessed.His experiences and observations during these trips led him to conclude that the region's ingrained economic inequalities were an intrinsic result of capitalism , monopolism , neocolonialism , and imperialism , with the only remedy being world revolution .This belief prompted his involvement in Guatemala 's social reforms under President Jacobo Arbenz , whose eventual CIA-assisted overthrow solidified Guevara's political ideology. Later, while living in Mexico City, he met Raúl and Fidel Castro , joined their 26th of July Movement , and sailed to Cuba aboard the yacht, Granma , with the intention of overthrowing U.S.-backed Cuban dictator Fulgencio Batista . Guevara soon rose to prominence among the insurgents , was promoted to second-in-command, and played a pivotal role in the victorious two year guerrilla campaign that deposed the Batista regime. Following the Cuban Revolution , Guevara performed a number of key roles in the new government. These included reviewing the appeals and firing squads for those convicted as war criminals during the revolutionary tribunals ,[ 12 ] instituting agrarian reform as minister of industries, helping spearhead a successful nationwide literacy campaign , serving as both national bank president and instructional director for Cuba’s armed forces , and traversing the globe as a diplomat on behalf of Cuban socialism . Such positions also allowed him to play a central role in training the militia forces who repelled the Bay of Pigs Invasion [13 ] and bringing the Soviet nuclear-armed ballistic missiles to Cuba which precipitated the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis .[ 14 ] Additionally, he was a prolific writer and diarist, composing a seminal manual on guerrilla warfare , along with a best-selling memoir about his youthful motorcycle journey across South America. Guevara left Cuba in 1965 to foment revolution abroad, first unsuccessfully in Congo-Kinshasa and later in Bolivia , where he was captured by CIA -assisted Bolivian forces and executed. Ernesto Guevara de la Serna , genannt Che Guevara oder einfach Che [1] (* 14. Juni [2] 1928 in Rosario , Argentinien ; �� 9. Oktober 1967 in La Higuera , Bolivien ), war ein marxistischer Politiker, Guerillaführer und Autor. Er war ein zentraler Anführer ( Comandante ) der Kubanischen Revolution von 1957/58, und ist neben Fidel Castro deren wichtigste Symbolfigur. Ursprünglich hatte der aus einer bürgerlichen Familie stammende Argentinier Medizin studiert. Einzelne seiner Schriften und Reden beeinflussten revolutionäre Strömungen weit über Kuba hinaus, seine Tagebücher haben literarischen Wert, sein Leben wie Sterben und der posthume Kult um seine Person war und ist Gegenstand vielfältiger Betrachtungen in Medien, Filmen und Büchern. Die US-Zeitschrift Time Magazine zählte ihn zu den 100 einflussreichsten Menschen des 20. Jahrhunderts. Eine Fotografie des „ Che “ von Alberto Korda , Guerrillero Heroico , gilt als berühmtestes fotografisches Abbild einer Person. Guevaras Vorfahren waren argentinische Großbürger. Bereits während seines Medizinstudiums begab sich Guevara auf eine Vielzahl von Reisen, die er umfangreich kommentierte und dokumentierte. Er empörte sich über die vielfach angetroffene wirtschaftliche Ungleic... read more
