Ernesto Guevara commonly known as Che or El Che was born on June 14, 1928 in Rosario, Argentina. Che studied Medicine at the University of Buenos Aires and later worked as a doctor. While working as a doctor, Che traveled across Latin America and when he was in Guatemala, he witnessed he witnessed the socialist government of President Jacobo Arbenz overthrown by an American backed military coup. This incident transformed him and he joined the Cuban revolutionary, Fidel Castro in Mexico as part of the July 26 movement. The group later invaded Cuba with the aim of overthrowing the US backed Cuban dictator Fulgencio Batista. Che rose to prominence very soon and was promoted to second command among the insurgents. He played a very important role in deposing the Batista regime.
