Guevara was born in Rosario, Argentina, the eldest of five children in a family of mixed Spanish, Basque[2] and Irish descent. The date of birth recorded on his birth certificate was June 14, 1928, although some sources assert that he was actually born on May 14, 1928 and his birth certificate was falsified to shield the family from a potential scandal resulting from his mother having been three months pregnant when she was married. One of Guevara's forebears, Patrick Lynch, was born in Galway, Ireland in 1715. He left for Bilbao, Spain, and traveled from there to Argentina. Francisco Lynch (Guevara's great-grandfather) was born in 1817, and Ana Lynch (his beloved grandmother) in 1861. Her son Ernesto Guevara Lynch (Guevara's father) was born in 1900. Guevara Lynch married Celia de la Serna y Llosa in 1927 and they had five children. In this upper class family with leftist leanings, Guevara became known for his dynamic and radical perspective even as a boy. Though suffering from crippling bouts of asthma that were to afflict him throughout his life, he excelled as an athlete. He was an avid rugby player despite his handicap, and earned the nickname "Fuser"[3] for his aggressive style of play. In 1948, he entered the University of Buenos Aires to study medicine. There, after some interruptions, he completed his medical studies in March of 1953. While a student, Guevara spent a long time traveling around Latin America. In 1951, Guevara's older friend, Alberto Granado, a biochemist and a political radical, suggested that Guevara take a year off from his medical studies to embark on a trip they had talked about for years, traversing South America. Guevara and the 29-year-old Alberto soon set off from their hometown of Alta Gracia, riding a 1939 Norton 500 cc motorcycle nicknamed La Poderosa II meaning "the mighty one", with the idea of spending a few weeks volunteering at the San Pablo leper colony in Peru on the banks of the Amazon River. Guevara narrated this journey in The Motorcycle Diaries, translated in 1996 and turned into a motion picture of the same name in 2004. Through his first-hand observations of the severe poverty, oppression, and powerlessness of the masses, Guevara decided that the only remedy for Latin America's economic and social inequities lay in revolution. His travels also inspired him to look upon Latin America not as a collection of separate nations, but as a single cultural and economic entity whose liberation would require an intercontinental strategy.

These events are important because Che Guevara initially claims international prominence in the over throw of Batista in the 1959 Cuban revolution in which Guevara was an important leader. Many argue that Che’s involvement in the Cuban revolution ultimately sealed his fate, because for his involvement he became known as a communist revolutionary leader, promising to continue his crusade against large imperialist powers like the U.S. Guevara began his journey throughout Latin America with the intent to spread communistic regimes, regimes that would directly hinder U.S. economic engagement throughout the region. This would be hugely detrimental to the United States, both economically and socially, as it would challenge a the United States’ hold on Latin America. The United States had instituted a containment policy in regards to communism; they wanted to keep communism from spreading, so the idea of communism spreading in their backyard was particularly unsettling. The spreading of communism was Guevara’s goal. Guevara had also made a major impact in Guatemala, helping with social r...
