The objective of the Bay of Pigs invasion (April, 1961) was to overthrow the Cuban regime of Fidel Castro, who had seized power from dictator Fulgencio Batista in 1959. A relatively small group of Cuban refugees (about 1500) were equipped by the CIA for the attack, but did not have the direct support of the US Military. The invasion met heavy resistance from the Cuban army and failed after three days of fighting.
