D. The Bay of Pigs invasion was a pretty major failure for the anti-Communism agenda, and American support for it pressured Cuba to respond drastically, seeing that they were on the forefront of the anti-communist front. This ultimately led to the Cuban Missile Crisis, the closest the world has ever been to all-out nuclear warfare.
