What happened at the Bay of Pigs?
AnswerAn invasion Wrong. A failed invasion, and an embarassment to the Kennedy presidential campaign.Actually, the Bay of Pigs was a project commenced by President Eisenhower where the CIA trained 1500 anti-Castro Cuban exiles for a Cuban invasion and takeover. Confident that the rebels would succeed, President Kennedy sent them in on April 17, 1961 to invade from the south at La Bahia de Cochinos, or the Bay of Pigs.
Why did President Kennedy want the missile out of Cuba?
It was the height of the Cold War. There was serious mistrust between the Soviet Union and the US and many other western nations. Kennedy had military experience during WW 2, and as president he was involved in the then escalating conflict in Viet Nam. There was no way that he was going to allow the Soviets to arm a nuclear missile site in Cuba, just a few miles from US territory. He had to act decisively, and he did. He brought the crisis to an end without bloodshed. There is no doubt that he would have used force if the Soviets had pushed. We can all be very thankful that they did not.
What was the underlying cause of the Cuban Missile Crisis?
President Kennedy admitted to lack of missile gap unlike Eisenhower. He said that the US was way ahead of the Soviets in the developing missiles. This made Khrushchev (The Soviet leader) look bad. And this angers Cuba a lot especially, after our failed attempt with the Bay of Pigs. Castro starts to buddy up with the Soviets a lot more. Khrushchev doesn't want to see the US take Cuba down. So he offers to arm Castro with weapons. The US had the Soviet Union surrounded with missile sites and the Soviets wanted at least one site near the US. If they could get Cuba they would have their "one place". A U2 planes discovered installation sites being built in Cuba by the soviets. Kennedy called together the National Security Council, DOD, etc. to discuss what to do with this. We came up with three options. 1)Invade Cuba-Bay of pigs was a failure. 2) Air Strike- were afraid if we did do that ,t hey would shoot our planes3) Leave it alone. No one was really satisfied with those three option so we decided to Quarantine AKA Blockade Cuba. The Cuban Missile Crisis scared everyone to death; we were on the verge of nuclear war. In 1963 the US and the Soviet Union Signed a nuclear Test Ban Treaty which banned the testing of atomic weapons. A hotline was also set up between Moscow and Washington D.C.
