On April 17, 1961, 1400 Cuban exiles launched what became a botched invasion at the Bay of Pigs on the south coast of Cuba.

In 1959, Fidel Castro came to power in an armed revolt that overthrew Cuban dictator Fulgencio Batista. The US government distrusted Castro and was wary of his relationship with Nikita Khrushchev, the leader of the Soviet Union.

Before his inauguration, John F. Kennedy was briefed on a plan by the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) developed during the Eisenhower administration to train Cuban exiles for an invasion of their homeland. The plan anticipated that the Cuban people and elements of the Cuban military would support the invasion. The ultimate goal was the overthrow of Castro and the establishment of a non-communist government friendly to the United States.

kkurt [141]

Answer:

The Kansas-Nebraska Act, issued on May 30, 1854 created the territories of Kansas and Nebraska, repealing the Missouri Compromise, and allowing immigrants settled in these territories to decide whether or not to introduce slavery on them.  

The text stated that the pioneers would be able to vote to decide whether or not to introduce slavery, in the name of "popular sovereignty". Unsurprisingly, opponents of slavery denounced the law, viewing it as a concession to the slave power of the South. The new Republican Party, which was created in opposition to this law, set itself the goal of stopping the expansion of slavery and quickly became the dominant force in all the northern states.

The result was a series of violence and murders called Bleeding Kansas between 1854 and 1861, pitting pro and anti-slavery settlers in the new Kansas Territory, and revealing itself as the origin of the Civil War.
