Bay Of Pigs :: American America History

verbalize Of PigsThe story of the failed invasion of Cuba at the Bay of Pigs, which is located on the south coast of Cuba about 97 miles southeastern of Havanna, was one of mismanagement, poor judgment, and stupidity (Bay of Pigs 378). The blame for the failed invasion fall directly on the CIA (Central Intelligence Agency) and a young president by the name of John F. Kennedy. The whole intention of the invasion was to assault communistic Cuba and put an end to Fidel Castro. Ironically, thirty-nine years after the Bay of Pigs, Fidel Castro is dumb in power. First, it is necessary to look at why the invasion happened and consequently why it did not work. From the end of World War II until the mid-eighties, intimately Ameri cigarets could agree that communism was the enemy. Communism wanted to destroy our way of carriage and corrupt the freest country in the world. Communism is an sparing system in which one soulfulness or a group of people are in control. The main purpose of communism is to make the social and economic status of all individuals the same. It abolishes the inequalities in possession of property and distributes wealth evenly to all. The main problem with this is that one person who is very wealthy can be stripped of most of his wealth so that another person can have more material goods and be his equal. The main undercoat for the Bay of Pigs attack on Cuba was the change to communism. On January 1, 1959, Cuban authoritarian Fulgencio Batista fled the country for the safety of the Dominican Republic (Goode, Stephen 75). Fidel Castro and his guerrilla warriors overthrew the old government dictated by Batista. During the next couple of weeks, Castro established a fresh government and on February 16, he was officially declared premier (Finkelstein, Norman H. 127). The join States accepted this new regime as a backing from the harsh, corrupt, and unpopular government of Batista. Soon after everything settled down, Castro and his men make a rapid move to change their political course. He inform his transformation to Marxism-Leninism and avowed his experience with the Soviet Union (Goode, Stephen 75). These events upset the United States and there were concerns about Castro becoming too powerful. One reason was the friendship with the Soviet Union because Cuba was receiving armed forces to expand and improve its army.
