History
Che Guevara wrote the phrase in a letter addressing Fidel Castro on April 1, 1965, as he resigned from PCC and traveled to Congo and later to Bolivia to spread the "revolution", before being executed by Bolivian Special Forces on October 9, 1967.[1] Castro publicly read the letter during a speech on October 3, 1965, where he announced Che's resignation from Communist Party of Cuba.[2] Castro read "Ever onwards to victory" as he finished his speech.[3][2]
In 1965, Carlos Puebla published a famous song Hasta siempre, Comandante, the title of the song is based on the slogan.[4]
