5/5/10 Quiz Study Sheet

Below is the information that will be present on the in class quiz. If you wish to make up the quiz you can set up a time during my free periods (4,5,7,9)

Che' - A Revolutionary who dedicated his life to political reform and revolution in 10 Latin-American Countries (Cuba, Honduras, El Salvador, Guatamala, Ecuador, Bolivia, Peru, Panama, Mexico, and Costa Rica). He also contributed to revolts in The Congo of Africa.

His real name is Ernest Guevara and he was born in Argentina 1928. As an Argentinian he often repeated the word Che' in normal conversation much like we repeat "um" in English. This is the origin of his nick name. He was executed in Bolivia 1967. He was an expert at guerrilla warfare and therefore an example of a violent reformer or revolutionary. Historically there are many examples of both violent and non-violent activists. Martin Luther King Jr. and Mahatmas Gandhi are examples of non-violent activists. Che' and Malcom X would be examples of violent activists.
