Question

Which statement regarding the Bay of Pigs is TRUE

Answer 1

The correct answer is B, as the Bay of Pigs Invasion was planned as a secret invasion of Cuba led by the CIA.

The Bay of Pigs Invasion was the failed attempt to overthrow Fidel Castro's regime, put in place by a group of Cuban exiles and mercenaries, trained by the CIA, who planned to conquer Cuba starting from the invasion of the south-west of the island.

The operation, scheduled by CIA director Allen Welsh Dulles during the Eisenhower administration, was launched in April 1961, not even three months after John F. Kennedy took office as President. The Cuban armed forces, equipped and trained by the pro-Soviet nations of the Eastern bloc, defeated the invasion force in three days of fighting, on April 19, 1961.

Answer 2

The true statement about the Bay of Pigs is that it was a CIA-led secret invasion of Cuba aimed at overthrowing Fidel Castro's government.

therefore, option B is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

The statement regarding the Bay of Pigs that is true is that it was planned as a secret invasion of Cuba led by the CIA. The Bay of Pigs Invasion was a covert operation initiated during the Eisenhower administration and given the go-ahead by President Kennedy. The plan involved arming and training Cuban exiles to invade Cuba and overthrow Fidel Castro's government. The invasion ended in disaster, with the Cuban army quickly defeating the poorly supported insurgent force.

In short, the mission was not about sparking a revolution in Cuba, nor did it occur after a Cuban plot to invade Florida, nor was it a response to Soviet missiles in Cuba, which was actually a consequence of the failed invasion.
