Answer:

The April 1961 CIA-led invasion of Cuba to topple Fidel Castro that proved to be a total failure when, of the invading force of 1,400, 1,100 were captured and more than 100 killed was the Bay of Pigs Invasion.

Explanation:

On April 17, 1961, a force consisting of 1,500 exiled Cubans attempted to invade Cuba to overthrow the Castro regime by landing on the Bay of Pigs. The invasion attempt was a failure, and the force was defeated by Castro's troops after three days. 100 exile Cubans had been killed, and the remaining 1400 were imprisoned. The main reason they were defeated lay in the expectation of assistance from the United States in the form of bombers. The bombers had been disarmed to look like civil aircraft, which gave them a good camouflage.

The bombers failed to destroy all of Cuba's aircraft. Later attempts with planes that would bomb the remaining planes in Cuba also failed, as the plan was instead shot down by Castro's troops. The US government initially withdrew from intervention but then bought the exiled Cubans back from Castro's hands.  

The invasion force had been recruited among Cuban Castro opponents who lived in exile, especially Florida. There it was equipped, trained and financed by the US CIA.

Which American document is the basis of all U.S. national law?
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]
The law of the United States comprises many levels[1] of codified forms of law, of which the most important is the United States Constitution, the foundation of the federal government of the United States. The Constitution sets out the boundaries of federal law, which consists of acts of Congress,[2] treaties ratified by the Senate,[3]regulations promulgated by the executive branch,[4] and case law originating from the federal judiciary.[5] The United States Code is the official compilation and codification of general and permanent federal statutory law.

Federal law and treaties, so long as they are in accordance with the Constitution, preempt conflicting state and territorial laws in the 50 U.S. states and in the territories.[6] However, the scope of federal preemption is limited because the scope of federal power is not universal. In the dual-sovereign[7] system of American federalism (actually tripartite[8]because of the presence of Indian reservations), states are the plenarysovereigns, each with their own constitution, while the federal sovereign possesses only the limited supreme authority enumerated in the Constitution.[9] Indeed, states may grant their citizens broader rights than the federal Constitution as long as they do not infringe on any federal constitutional rights.Thus, most U.S. law (especially the actual "living law" of contract, tort, property, criminal, and family law experienced by the majority of citizens on a day-to-day basis) consists primarily of state law, which can and does vary greatly from one state to the next.

At both the federal and state levels, with the exception of the state of Louisiana, the law of the United States is largely derived from the common law system of English law, which was in force at the time of the American Revolutionary War.] However, American law has diverged greatly from its English ancestor both in terms of substance and procedure, and has incorporated a number of civil law innovations.
