In which country was revolutionary Che Guevara killed?

“In which country was revolutionary Che Guevara killed?” The answer is Bolivia. Ernesto “Che” Guevara was captured by the Bolivian Army on October 8, 1967, after a failed guerrilla campaign in the country’s southeastern region. He was executed the following day in the village of La Higuera.

Guevara had hoped to establish a revolutionary movement in Bolivia and use it as a base for wider struggles across South America. The effort found little support among local peasants, while the guerrillas faced difficult terrain, food shortages, poor communications, and increasingly effective military pursuit.

The answer is Bolivia, not Cuba, although Cuba is central to Guevara’s fame. He helped Fidel Castro’s forces overthrow Fulgencio Batista in the Cuban Revolution and later held government posts there. After leaving Cuba, he pursued revolutionary campaigns abroad, first in the Congo and then in Bolivia. His remains were discovered near Vallegrande in 1997 and reburied in Santa Clara, Cuba.
