In the foiled and botched bay of pigs operation, Kennedy attempted to overthrow the government of Fidel Castro.
During the Kennedy administration, the CIA attempted to remove Fidel Castro, the leader of Cuba (1926–2016), from office through the Bay of Pigs Invasion, which took place in April 1961.
General Fulgencio Batista, the country's American-backed president, was deposed on January 1, 1959, when a young Cuban nationalist by the name of Fidel Castro led his guerilla force into Havana.
The American State Department and the Central Intelligence Agency tried to depose Castro over the following two years. Finally, on April 17, 1961, the CIA carried out what its officials believed to be the decisive attack a full-scale invasion of Cuba by 1,400 Cubans trained in America who had fled their homes when Castro assumed power.
The invasion did not succeed, though, as Castro's army outnumbered the invaders significantly.
