The Bay of Pigs invasion of Cuba under US president Kennedy attempted to overthrow Castro.
On April 17, 1961, approximately 1,400 members of a CIA-trained Cuban exile force landed at the Bay of Pigs, in an attempt to overthrow Castro. The U.S. publicly denied any involvement. I guess you could call the Invasion : "The bay of pigs Invasion".
President John F. Kennedy supported the invasion of Cuba by Cuban exiles, which took place at the Bay of Pigs in April 1961. The invasion aimed to overthrow Fidel Castro's communist regime but ultimately failed due to poor planning, lack of adequate air support, and strong resistance from Cuban forces. The failure was a significant embarrassment for the Kennedy administration and had lasting implications for U.S.-Cuba relations.
