Answer 4

Answer 5

he is viewed by some as the quintessential revolutionary.

fought and won the cuban revolution with fidel castro. after winning the revolution however, fidel castro  transformed into his new role as political leader, but che was unsuited and uninterested in politics and wanted to remain a revolutionary forever. he was moreover an argentine and therefore  an outsider to cuban affairs. thus with a token force given by castro, che went to bolivia to fight a new revolution. there, he pictured himself the leader come to save the revolution instead of an emissary from cuba. the local guerillas morever expected material support and not a foreigner to direct them. he was captured by bolivian military and executed.

his grave was hidden ( his hands were amputated to hide his identity ) but was eventually discovered. his remains were brought to cuba and he was declared a national hero. his opponents view him a butcher and to others, his actions led to more brutalility  by the military regimes that he fought.
