Where was the unsuccessful landing by US troops in April 1961?

what a major f#@* up-still a sore spot!

This event caused Castro to agree to having nuclear missiles on Cuba from Russia. If Eisenhower and Kennedy had not provoked Cubans there would not have been a Cuban Missle Crisis and Kennedy might not have been assassinated. The US escalated hostilities with the Bay Of Pigs Invasion.

not us troops but Cuban exiles -lack of UU supported a main reason for failure

TenseDragon91145, Americans wouldn't have "joined" World War II had Japan not goaded them into it after Pearl Harbor. It was nice you guys decided to join the war, but you could have done so from the beginning.

DSDA, I think the Japanese are sorry that they goaded (your word)into WW2

DSDA, I think the Japanese are sorry they goaded us into WW2

Is this why JFK was assassinated I wonder?

Player Leuken, The event had happened because naughty Cuba is communist 😬

DSDA, Sad past History. Had Churchill been proactive in responding to 'messages ' And had the Japanese diplomatic solutions been listened to was never a reason for the escalation for Global conflict.

DSDA, you know the whole political background and concluded that TenseDragon91145 is guilty in America not joining wwii :))

they weren't US troops they were Cuban exiles surely?

brooksy92491, Check again. Bay of pigs was 1961. PeÅce.

tystyx, Actually, it was planned by President Eisenhower.

TenseDragon91145, that old chestnut! 😂

ProsaicLabyrinth8175, Saddam was a distraction. After failing to locate Bin Laden they needed something ASAP.
