Want to learn

[aunkst]

I would really appreciate it someone would explain to me about Che Guevara. I want to learn all about this guy cause he seems very very interesting and what's the revolution? What is a revolution? What all did this guy do that's "so great"? I'm very interested in learning all about this guy, and everything.

Ok, i guess i can give a bit of a summary.

Ernesto "Che" Guevara, was born, in Rosario, Argentina in 1928 to he parents Celia and Ernesto Guevara. He later studied in the medical field, mainly under the allergies section. Years later he and Alberto Granado took a trip across South America. Following that he ended up in Mexico City, where he met Fidel Castro, and him and other rebels planned the overthrow of Cuba's Dictator Batista. In 1959 Fidel’s Rebel Army overthrew Batistas regime. Years later, in 1965, after shortly returning from the Congo, che was sent on a revolutionary mission to Bolivia, where in 1967, him and his rebel group were ambushed, and che executed.

Now about a revolution, A revolution is just the overthrow of one government and the replacing of another, unless its revolutionized into an anarchist state.
If your talking about the Cuban revolution, it was brought on for a number of reasons, mainly being that, many workers and farmers, were working in terrible conditions making no money, and their tax dollars going to things like the army, whose only job was to keep the lower classes in line, while wealthy bourgeoisie (the land owners) sat in comfortable office jobs making salaries well passing that off a farmer. Allot of people didn’t like this, and thus Revolution was inevitable, and this is where Che and the rest of the Rebels came in.

Che did allot of things in his life that were great, like joining the revolution, and spreading leftism across the world, but a great deal of things has been done in his death. He has inspired millions of people across the world to not give in to authority, as well as inspiring them to realize what’s going on in the world, and that things need to be changed.

I hope i helped

There are also works by him such as The Che Guevara Reader (a compilation) that you can read.

Also, the Jon Lee Anderson biography is a good start as well.
