Bay Of Pigs - Aly Piedad



The Bay of Pigs invasion happened on April 17, 1961.  Many US government officials were scared that Castro's relationship with the Russians could lead to the spread of communism in Cuba.  Since Cuba is so close to the coats of Florida, many US officials worried that communism might spread within the US.  JFK rounded up cuban exiles to fight against Castro, but the invasion turned out to be a failure.
