In 1955, while living as a hobo, Guevara met [[Raul Castro|Raul]] and Fidel Castro to plot the overthrow of the US-backed [[Fulgencio Batista]] government in Cuba. Their first revolutionary plan was an assault on Cuba from [[Mexico]]. During the war, Castro promoted Guevara to commander status, and Guevara won the Battle of Santa Clara. This defeated Batista's forces and allowed the bearded guerrillas to march on towards [[Havana]]. On New Year's Eve 1958, Batista's forces were defeated and on New Year's Day, Batista fled to the [[Dominican Republic]]. Castro and Guevara became Cuba's new socialist revolutionary leaders. Guevara killed many thousand people, who were "enemies of the revolution". Those "enemies" were Homosexuals, dissidents or AIDS-infected people.<ref>http://www.slate.com/articles/arts/culturebox/2004/09/the_cult_of_che.html</ref>

This defeated Batista's forces and allowed the bearded guerrillas to march on towards [[Havana]]. A series of promotional news articles in [[The New York Times]] written by [[Herbert Matthews]] bolstered the popularity of the revolutionaries.
