The Bay of Pigs Invasion was an unsuccessful attempt by a CIA-trained force of Cuban exiles to invade southern Cuba with support from US government armed forces, to overthrow the Cuban government of Fidel Castro.
Fidel Castro
The war kind of just ended, but it also ended by the US backing out and just leaving the Cuban exiles. But John F. Kennedy made a trade with Castro by trading 52-53 million dollars worth of food and medicine in order to get the exiles and troops which Castro had captured. And the fail of this invasion brought shame and embarrassment to JFK and to his administration.
the us wanted to stop cuba from becoming communist so they trained cuban exiles to invade
The US headed the program; training was conducted by covert personnel.
Answer Fidel Castro lead a Communist revolution in Cuba that reformed the entire country. The government took over control of private industries and ran out many of the political leaders. So the invasion was supposed to generate support among the local people to fight to overthrow Castro. The US government helped plan the operation and used some Cuban exiles as well as CIA and members of the Alabama Air National Guard. The landings were repulsed and the local people did not rise in support of it.
Because they didn't expect the Cubans to be ready for the exiles, and they Cuban exiles didn't have any air support. The plan put forward by the CIA was also not right, it failed to consider support for Castro, the strength of Castro's army and many things went wrong for the exiles on the day of invasion.Kennedy can be blamed too for giving the plan the go ahead!
