Bay of Pigs

On the island of Cuba a new beginning was about to commence. A new regime was coming into power, which was without the authoritarian control of the United States. A government that would provide and protect the interests of Cubans and bring accountability and order back to an institution flawed with corruption. With the failure and aspiration of the July 26th Movement (1953), the forces of good were able to overthrow the corrupt power of Fulgencio Batista in late December of 1958.1 The person in charge of these revolutionary acts was a man by the name of Fidel Castro.

replacement of the Castro regime with one more devoted to the

true interests of the Cuban people and more acceptable to the U. At first, the mission was comprised of leading groups of Cuban exiles to specific locations within the island to launch propaganda against the Castro regime and bring together the anti-Castro coalitions in support of a major uprising against the government. He was seen more like a temporary set back that eventually would be eliminated. Even attempts of uprisings were squashed relatively fast by the regime. Thus far these fighter for freedom have virtually no support from our government. It was as if a divine power were watching over Castro and protecting his every move. He now knew that this pest had now become a parasite that wouldn’t let go of its victim.
