In 1961 the Soviet Union attempted to annex Cuba?

The Soviet Union did not attempt to annex Cuba in 1961; rather, it supported the Cuban government led by Fidel Castro following the Cuban Revolution. The most significant event during this period was the Bay of Pigs invasion in April 1961, where U.S.-backed Cuban exiles attempted to overthrow Castro but failed. This invasion heightened tensions between the U.S. and the Soviet Union, eventually leading to the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962, when the Soviet Union placed nuclear missiles in Cuba, further escalating the Cold War standoff.
