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.

President John F. Kennedy called back the bombers during the Bay of Pigs invasion in April 1961 to avoid escalating the conflict into a broader war with Cuba and potentially the Soviet Union. The decision was made after assessing the situation and recognizing that air support for the Cuban freedom fighters was crucial, but the risk of direct U.S. military involvement could have dire consequences. Kennedy aimed to maintain plausible deniability regarding U.S. involvement while attempting to limit the conflict's scope. Ultimately, the withdrawal of air support contributed to the failure of the invasion.
