In brief, the Bay of Pigs invasion was a result of America's anti-communist policies during the Cold War. President John F Kennedy inherited his predecessor's planned operation to orchestrate Fidel Castro's removal, and proceeded with the operation, albeit in a modified format. It was hoped to provoke Castro's overthrow by Cuban expatriates, while keeping visible US involvement to a minimum.
The landing was a failure due to, among other things, a lack of support & air cover, and JFK's decision to alter planned air-raids. The landing party established a beachhead but was surrounded by 20,000 Cuban troops. With no support, and overwhelming opposition, the landing failed.
