In his travels he was so impacted by the poverty and living conditions of the citizens. After his successful completion of his studies he became politically active. After the revolution Guevara worked as a politician and helped change the economical state of Cuba for the better.
Later he decided to help other countries to try and change their living standards by revolting against current governments. He decided to go to Bolivia to fight for the right of the Bolivian citizens. He was not successful because he was caught by the Bolivian Army, taken captive, and then later executed.
