Explanation

The Bay of Pigs Invasion was a failed military operation in April 1961 where the CIA trained Cuban exiles to invade Cuba and overthrow Fidel Castro's communist government. It was named after the Bay of Pigs (Bahía de Cochinos) on Cuba's southern coast, the launch point for the invasion. The operation was a major embarrassment for the Kennedy administration and strengthened Castro's regime.
