  4. Che was born June 14th, 1928 to Ernesto Guevara Lynch and Celia de la Serna y Llosa in Rosario, Argentina. • He was the oldest of 5 children.

He read a lot though his childhood and throughout his life enjoyed photography.

  5. His vocation to the revolutionary life started during his travel in South America.

  6. “Witnessing the widespread poverty, oppression and disenfranchisement throughout Latin America, and influenced by his readings of Marxist literature, Guevara decided that the only solution for the region’s inequalities was armed revolution. • His travels and readings also led him to view Latin America not as a group of separate nations but as a single entity requiring a continent-wide strategy for liberation. His conception of a borderless, united Latin-America sharing a common ‘mestizo' culture was a theme that would prominently recur during his later revolutionary activities.”

  7. Che went to Mexico City in 1954 and there in 1955 was introduced to Raul Castro by the Cuban exiles he had met in Guatemala. • A few weeks later he was introduced to Fidel and immediately thought that this was the visionary revolutionary leader he was looking for and immediately joined the “26th of July Movement” to over throw Fulgencio Batista’s government in Cuba.
