The Bay of Pigs Invasion was in April, 1961, and the Missile Crisis was in October, 1962. Cuban counter-revolutionaries sought to overthrow Castro with the help of the US, but President Kennedy would not authorize US support. Eighteen months later, the Soviet attempt to place missiles in Cuba led to a naval blockade, and a Cold War confrontation that could have escalated to nuclear war.
