The United States and Cuba. After Fidel Castro overthrew dictator Fulgencio Batista in 1959, the CIA supported an attack by Cuban refugees in April, 1961, to attempt to seize control from Castro. The relatively small and unsupported operation failed after 3 days of fighting. The Kennedy administration, though involved in its planning, did not directly use US Military forces except as a diversion.
After the Cuban Revolution, Castro forged strong ties with the Soviet Union which was engaged in a Cold War with the United States. The plan to invade Cuba to overthrow Castro was initiated during the Eisenhower Administration. Eisenhower appropriated more than $13M in funding. The CIA organized the operation with the help of the Mafia and various Cuban revolutionary forces. Upon his election, President Kennedy gave his consent to the long planned invasion. The failed invasion strengthened Castro's administration. As part of the 1962 agreement that ended the Cuban Missile Crisis, the US pledged not to seek the removal of Castro's government by force.
