Bay of Pigs Invasion
17 April 1961
The Bay of Pigs Invasion (Spanish: Invasin de Playa Girn or Invasin de Baha de Cochinos or Batalla de Girn) was 
a failed military invasion of Cuba undertaken by the CIA-sponsored paramilitary group Brigade 2506 on 17 April 1961. 
A counter-revolutionary military, trained and funded by the United States government's Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), 
Brigade 2506 fronted the armed wing of the Democratic Revolutionary Front (DRF) and intended to overthrow the 
increasingly communist government of Fidel Castro. Launched from Guatemala & Nicaragua, the invading force was defeated 
within three days by the Cuban Revolutionary Armed Forces, under the direct command of Prime Minister Fidel Castro.
Over 1,400 paramilitaries, divided into five infantry battalions and one paratrooper battalion, assembled in Guatemala 
before setting out for Cuba by boat on 13 April 1961. Two days later on 15 April, eight CIA-supplied B-26 bombers 
attacked Cuban airfields and then returned to the US. On the night of 16 April, the main invasion landed at a beach named 
Playa Girn in the Bay of Pigs. It initially overwhelmed a local revolutionary militia. The Cuban Army's counter-offensive 
was led by Jos Ramn Fernndez, before Castro decided to take personal control of the operation. As the US involvement 
became apparent to the world, Kennedy decided against providing further air cover for the invasion. As a result, the 
invasion only had half the forces the CIA had deemed necessary. The original plan devised during Eisenhower's presidency 
had required both air and naval support. On 20 April, the invaders surrendered after only three days, with the majority 
being publicly interrogated and put into Cuban prisons.
