The charismatic revolutionary leader Ernesto “Che” Guevara, born in Argentina, was a medical doctor by profession, yet it was in his role as a marxist guerilla soldier that he inserted himself in world history. After Fidel Castro's takeover of power in Cuba on January 1, 1959 Guevara served in numerous functions, including minister of industry, diplomat and head of the Cuban national bank. On October 9, 1967 he was executed in Bolivia.
