Bay of PIgs (apr 17, 1961 – apr 17, 1961)

Description:

After Castro's recent actions, Kennedy decided to follow through with a plan to invade and it began at the Bay of Pigs.

-The Bay of Pigs turned out to be a very bad invasion spot.

-In the beginning no one was positive the invasion would work and there were very many doubts.

-Fidel Castro had come into power just two years earlier after overthrowing the dictator.

-A revolution was expected after the first invasion in Cuba but the people did not rebel.

-The mission failed in part because of Kennedys desicion to have limited air support.
