The Bay of Pigs invasion, also known as the Girón beach invasion, was a military operation or warlike act in which Cuban exile troops, supported by the US government, invaded Cuba in the years of 1961, to try to form a provisional government. to replace that of Fidel Castro and seek the support of the Organization of American States (in addition to the recognition of the international community). The action ended in failure within a few hours of the attack. It was completely crushed by the militias and the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Cuba (FAR) that put a limit to all this by ending it. More than a hundred invading soldiers died, and the Cuban army captured 1,200, along with important war material.
Explanation:
One of the most important causes of all this was that the subsequent agreements with the Soviet Union definitively convinced the United States that the new Cuba was a danger to its global strategy. In the oval office of the White House an invasion of the island began to be plotted, for which the exiles living in Miami would be used as military forces, which in the end would give a vision more of "liberation" than of invasion itself bliss.
