What was the outcome of the Bay of Pigs invasion?

  1. A success

  2. A failure

  3. Ongoing conflict

  4. Negotiation

The correct answer is: A failure

The Bay of Pigs invasion was an unsuccessful attempt by the United States to overthrow the government of Fidel Castro in Cuba in 1961. It was a failure due to a lack of proper planning and coordination, as well as support from the local population. The invasion was quickly defeated by Cuban forces, resulting in embarrassment for the US and strained relations with Cuba. Option A, C, and D are incorrect because the bay of pigs invasion ultimately ended in failure and did not result in success, ongoing conflict, or negotiation.
