À propos de ce contenu audio
Ernesto 'Che' Guevara’s, transformational motorcycle journey through Latin America at a very impressionable age, led him to join forces with Fidel and Raul Castro to become the face of the Cuban Revolution.
His participation was marked by his exceptional courage and organizational prowess. As a commander, he played a crucial role in overthrowing the dictator Fulgencio Batista, culminating in the seizure of the capital in 1959.
In the newly established regime, Che was influential in numerous areas, including overseeing execution squads, military training, managing the sugarcane-dominated agricultural economy, and aligning Cuba with the Soviet Union. His bold invitation to the Soviets to station missiles in Cuba escalated into the infamous Missile Crisis, narrowly avoiding a nuclear confrontation with the United States.
Eventually disenchanted with Soviet politics and Castro's leadership, Guevara embarked on further revolutionary endeavors, leading him to the Congo and ultimately Bolivia. It was in Bolivia, at the age of thirty-nine, that Guevara's journey ended when he was captured and executed by a CIA-backed militia.
Before leaving for Congo, he wrote to Castro a letter which has become famous for what it stands for.
