Che Guevara: you win or you die

October 9, 1967. World-renowned revolutionary Che Guevara is dead at the age of thirty-nine.

The charismatic Argentinian revolutionary had been leading guerilla fighters in the jungles of Bolivia and was captured by the Bolivian army.

Mario Teran, a sergeant in the Bolivian army, volunteered to execute the prisoner.

He carried out the bloody assignment with nine point-blank shots to Guevara's body.

Around the globe, reactions to the assassination were mixed.

In Cuba, where Guevara had helped overthrow a brutally repressive dictatorship in 1959, more than one million people mourned openly.

But in the United States and elsewhere, many business leaders and government officials were relieved.

Guevara's anti-capitalist movement sought to strip big businesses of their land and power.

He wanted to set up socialist systems to spread wealth and resources among ordinary workers-in Latin America and all around the world.

To the rich and powerful, Guevara was a dangerous threat.
