El Castro
Many Cubans fled to the United States to escape Fidel Castro and his policies. These exiles organized an invasion of their homeland to overthrow Castro and his government. The exiles trained with the CIA and were promised American air support, which they were never given. The exiles landed in Cuba at the Bay of Pigs in April of 1961. Without the American support they were promised, the exiles were quickly defeated by Castro's forces.
overthrow Cuban dictator Fidel Castro.
The goal of the 1961 invasion of Cuba, known as the Bay of Pigs incident or invasion, was to oust the socialist Cuban government led by Fidel Castro. Despite being trained and assisted by U.S. military and CIA personnel, the Cuban exiles who invaded were repulsed and their takeover bid failed.
Yes you are right on both counts. John F. Kennedy was President January 20, 1961 until his death on November 22, 1963. The Bay of Pigs Invasion, was on April 15 1961, The Cuban Missile Crisis began on October 15, 1962 and ended on October 28, 1962,
The Bay of Pigs was an invasion in 1961 authorized by JFK, it was an attempt to overthrow Castro in Cuba. The US trained Cuban exiles and rebels to lead it. In response to the Bay of Pigs, Cuba and Russia became even closer. Russia secretly shipped missiles to Cuba that were then targeted at the U.S. for the protection from future invasions. It reflected badly upon JFK because the U.S. didn't back up the Cuban exiles when the plan failed and they were quickly taken out by Castro's forces. It showed poor judgment skills and poor leadership. Although, it was his fault, he was highly influenced by the military leaders at the time. Their names i can't remember [Source]: AP World History, 3rd block :)
