President John Fitzgerald Kennedy, but the plan had been prepared during the Eisenhower administration.

The planning may have already preceded the Kennedy administration, however, as US President, the invasion became his responsibility once he took office.

How did the US cause a crisis in Cuba?

It depends which Cuban crisis you are talking about. The United States has invaded Cuba twice. The first time was from sinking a military ship. Maybe you have heard of the Rough Riders? They were a volunteer group that was lead by Teddy Roosevelt (before he was president) that was part of the first invasion. The other invasion was during the Cold War. The Invasion was called the Bay of Pigs. Cuba was allied with Russia and threatening the United States with Nuclear weapons.


Where did the Bay of Pigs invasion take place?

The Bay of Pigs incident took place at the south coast of Cuba. This action was accomplished in 1961 when Fidel Castro took power in Cuba.


How does the US action in cuba demonstrate the policy of containnent?

The U.S. action in Cuba, particularly during the Bay of Pigs invasion in 1961 and the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962, exemplifies the policy of containment aimed at preventing the spread of communism. The Bay of Pigs invasion sought to overthrow Fidel Castro's communist government, reflecting the U.S. commitment to counteract Soviet influence in the Western Hemisphere. Similarly, the Cuban Missile Crisis showcased the U.S. resolve to confront and contain Soviet military presence close to its borders, ultimately leading to a negotiation that resulted in the removal of Soviet missiles from Cuba. These actions underscore the U.S. strategy to limit the reach of communism during the Cold War.


Which event prompted US intervention in Latin America during the Cold War era?

The U.S. intervention in Latin America during the Cold War era was significantly prompted by the Cuban Revolution in 1959, which led to Fidel Castro's communist government. The U.S. feared the spread of communism in the region and sought to contain it through various interventions, including the Bay of Pigs invasion in 1961 and support for military coups, such as the overthrow of Chilean President Salvador Allende in 1973. These actions were part of a broader strategy to prevent Soviet influence and maintain U.S. dominance in the Western Hemisphere.
