Crisis in Cuba With Soviet help, Castro seizes control of Cuba in 1959 Ike allows CIA to train guerillas in Guatemala for purpose of retaking Cuba JFK green-lights Bay of Pigs Invasion in April, 1961 Everything went wrong JFK and CIA looks foolish

Further Crisis in Cuba Failure at Bay of Pigs improved Cuban-USSR relations October 1962, U2 spots nuclear missile sites in Cuba US blockades Cuba, preps for invasion October 22-28, world was brink of nuclear war No direct communication between JFK and Khrushchev made this worse
