Latin American Influence On Che Guevara

US foreign policy in Latin America is greatly influenced by its interactions with Cuba during the late fifties. With the efforts of Fidel and Raul Castro, and other Marxist revolutionaries such as Che Guevara and Camilo Cienfuegos, the corrupt and tyrannical caudillo

Methods: This investigation will describe Che Guevara’s involvement in Latin American independence movements, focusing specifically on his involvement with Fidel Castro’s “26th of July” movement. His actions and words will be analyzed, and his conduct this period of political upheaval will be used as evidence in order to answer the investigative question.

In weeks 9 to 11, the movement we looked at had very similar themes, often regarding things like rebellion and standing up for culture and what a society deems is “right”. We first learned about Che Guevara and how he became an icon to both Latin America and North American culture from Dr Anna Hamling. Her lecture was on the perpective of cultural icons, how people viewed them, and what it took to become an icon. She discussed the ways that people viewed Che, some seeing him as a hero where others saw him as just a tyrant who murdered anybody who got in his way.

After the age of enlightenment, colonies and nations around the world began questioning their rulers and ruling nations. Liberal and nationalist ideas spread across Europe and the world, especially after the French Revolution. When these beliefs spread to the colonies of America, independence movements and revolts occurred. The Latin American revolution and Haitian revolution were both significant events during the 19th century that affected both their respective nations and the world. While both revolutions resulted similarly such that a social hierarchy based on race existed after independence, they differ in that while the Latin American revolutions placed an emphasis on ending the Spanish casta system, Haitian revolution was based on freeing slaves.

The film Che is about the man, Che, who joined forces in Cuba and start a revolution to end of the Batista regime in Cuba. The men that fought in the revolution were in bad conditions because they were on a really hard and dangerous combat, most of them got hurt during this fight. Also, the film shows that a lot of peasants were tortured and murdered by Batista’s army because of two men that decide to betrayal to the revolution and one of them was the messenger of the Rebel Army. Indeed, I think that Che became a hero in Cuba because he was a doctor but during the revolution, he was the commander and the one who protect and gave Cuba the freedom again and everyone respects him and him made sure that everyone was doing the right thing.

In conclusion, I learn a lot in this class and while I was doing my research about those fantastic individual lovers of the land. The group of my investigation when through a lot of struggles and still having difficulty. We saw how they had a problem with the Spanish when they got to Colombia at first and the dramatic change that they make on their land. The Tayrona still having a problem, La Guerilla is one of the biggest one because they still in a war in the Sierra Nevada. Unfortunately, the government doesn’t cooperate in anything about it.

Ernesto “Che” Guevara Che Guevara was the Argentine born Marxist guerrilla who helped oust the corrupt Cuban government and set up a communist system 90 miles from the US. Che under the leadership of Fidel Castro helped lead a small guerrilla band of soldiers to take over the country. After the old government was out Che helped Castro decide communism as the way to go for Cuba. He helped Castro try to quickly industrialize the country, set up social reforms to try, and make Cuba a better place for its citizens. Che supported the struggle against imperialism by taking bands of guerrillas to Congo and Bolivia to help with revolutions there. Ernesto Guevara was born May 14, 1928 in Rosario, Argentina.

If people wanted to know anything about the Guerrilla war or the fighters, they should read this book, despite it not having been written recently, and become enamored with the story of common men; who protect their homeland from foreign invaders, from conquering them, and taking away stuff that makes them, Spanish, and call Spain, their home.

One reason why the United States should make everyone to do at least 2 years of military is because it will decrease the amount of obese people here. Another thing is it will make some people not afraid and stronger. Also it will show them what it is like to be in the military and what some people go through to protect our country. The U.S. is better protected than not. Another big reason is it will increase our military size making the U.S. more protected.

From the 1500s through the 1800s, the Spanish had controlled large areas of the modern-day Southwest and West Coast of the United States. The Spanish had controlled, enslaved and killed many Native Americans, Indians and Africans and in Spain, resulting in a cultural blending and a rise to a new social structure. Between 1810 and 1826, the Creoles led the revolution across Latin America due to resentment over the Spanish government’s massive control over North and South America, especially against the minority peninsulares, or Spanish-born Spaniards. having social conflicts with political power, demanding economic control and complexities with self identity have all led to the revolt against the peninsulares and for independence.

From 1898 the date of the Spanish-American War over Cuba, to 1920 a little while after the First World War, the United States had adopted a strict imperialistic policy. They had added many Spanish colonies closing the west boarder and so they had their eyes on foreign countries mainly Latin America. At that time the ideology of the Manifest Destiny prevailed, the dreams of the Puritans had been revived: creating a perfect society in the New World and making the Old World in its image. Americans at that time felt they had a sacred mission to deliver: civilizing the rest of the world. Indeed, the US had intervened all over Latin America; in Panama, Mexico, Haiti, and elsewhere politically and militarily like making Cuba a protectorate, and economically using the Dollar Diplomacy in Nicaragua and the Dominican Republic, creating little by little an informal empire right in its "backyard”.

The Cuban revolution has affected US relation in and with Latin America since 1959 because first Marxist social reform had emerged from mountain hideouts to overthrow the oppressive government of Fulgencio Batista a close ally of American business. Then, Fidel Castro confiscated $1 billion worth of American property, which made the United Stated brake diplomatic relation. To add in, it side crossed Latin America and try to make it communist. Also, many Latin American countries had suffered civil war, and Latin America saw a rise of rural guerrilla conflict and urban terrorism. Lastly, Fidel Castro would not come out of the closet as a communist until later which made both US and Latin America

In retrospect, the Cuban Revolution was more than a revolution of ideas, but a revolution of transforming the entire Cuban economy and society. Through Che’s idea of transforming the mind of each Cuban citizen into the “New Man” and the Agrarian Land Reform in the early stages of the revolution many were optimistic. Castro’s regime believed in giving power back to the peasants and in liberating the country from U.S. dominance. Many of these ideals seemed promising, but Castro and Che neglected the fact that the Cuban economy depended so much on sugar as a staple product, and the U.S. market. Castro, and Che lack what this paper will try to provide – hindsight. Through the analysis of secondary sources Che’s image, ideas, successes, and failures will be analyzed to prove why the Cuban Revolution was successful due to Che’s influence.

Chapter 9 - Spirituality Everyone has their own opinion about spirituality, but to be a master of ceremonies, you must develop your own. The purpose of this chapter is not to discuss the complexities of the timeless debate, but to help you choose which belief best relates to you. As a child, your beliefs are usually determined by those who raise you. As you grow up and mature, you must figure out what you believe in and that may not be exactly what your parents believe.

Once upon a time, Luca Pacioli wrote a math book. It was just a little survey and should have been treated like ordinary books of the time and read and then disappeared into historical archives and forgotten. A few brief chapters on practical mathematics made this one special.
