¡¡¡...HASTA LA VICTORIA SIEMPRE...!!! (...EVER ONWARD TO VICTORY...!!!) - Che Guevara.
Real name: Ernesto Guevara De la Serna. A traveler, physician (medical doctor), activist, Marxist revolutionary, guerrilla soldier and war leader born in Argentina who fought and won the Cuban Revolution during the Cold War. Best known for an iconic photograph called "Guerrillero Heroico" ("Heroic Guerilla Fighter").
Friend and revolutionary war buddy of Fidel Castro.
Che died in Bolivia while trying to create a revolution in that country with a communist guerrilla group. He was ambushed, captured and executed by the Bolivian army with help from the American Central Intelligence Agency (C.I.A.) during the late 60s.
A very complex and controversial figure nowadays, as a licensed doctor he saved the lives of countless people and as a humanitarian liberal revolutionary idealist he always tried to help the poor above everything else. However, Che was also directly responsible for the deaths and executions of thousands of political rivals and enemy soldiers as a ruthless communist fighter commander.
To this day, he is very disliked by the Cuban-American population of Florida (USA), but loved by the population of Cuba.
