To use cuban exiles to overthrow the pro-communist Cuban government
Many Cubans fled to the United States to escape Fidel Castro and his policies. These exiles organized an invasion of their homeland to overthrow Castro and his government. The exiles trained with the CIA and were promised American air support, which they were never given. The exiles landed in Cuba at the Bay of Pigs in April of 1961. Without the American support they were promised, the exiles were quickly defeated by Castro's forces.
