17 avr. 1961 - Bay of Pigs Invasion
Description:
US sponsored rebel invasion of Cuba in an attempt to reverse the Fidel Castro's dictatorial communist revolution in Cuba. The attempt ultimately failed and was a blemish on America's reputation as well as a low point in JFK's presidency. This is important because it's failure leads to the Cuban Missile Crisis, and bad blood between the US and Cuba for years.Ajouté au bande de temps:
