Detailed explanation-1: -The Bay of Pigs Invasion (Spanish: Invasión de Bahía de Cochinos, sometimes called Invasión de Playa Girón or Batalla de Playa Girón after the Playa Girón) was a failed military landing operation on the southwestern coast of Cuba in 1961 by Cuban exiles, covertly financed and directed by the United States.
Detailed explanation-2: -From the White House, US President John F Kennedy cancelled at the last minute the US air strikes that would have neutralised Castro’s aviation. He did so because he felt the United States could not appear to be behind the invasion.
Detailed explanation-3: -A left-wing revolution in Cuba had ended in 1959 with the ouster of President Fulgencio Batista and the establishment of a new government under Premier Fidel Castro.
