Ernesto Che Guevara was killed in La Higuera, Bolivia; he had traveled to Bolivia to spark a communist revolution in South America after having unsuccessfully attempted to do so in Congo; in both cases, however, he was unable to establish the desired contact with the peasants and the local population; this only occurred after his death, which transformed him into a martyr ready to be idolized, even in peace demonstrations, even though he had always been a man of war.
