17 апр 1961 г. - Bay of Pigs
Описание:
A military invasion of Cuba from the CIA
-happened because the USA backed leader in Cuba was overthrown by Fidel Castro
-Castro was close with Russia, which made US nervous
-Plan was to have CIA train Cuban exiles and start a revolution, hoping natives would join in, but they didn't
-Three main factors for the failure of this mission would be: no element of surprise, no military support, and the Cubans did not join the revolt
-also had a remote landing space, making it harder to invade
