During the Kennedy administration, the CIA attempted to remove Cuban leader Fidel Castro from power by staging the Bay of Pigs Invasion in 1961. The United States government and the Central Intelligence Agency have been plotting Castro's overthrow since 1959. The CIA's chiefs felt that an invasion of Cuba by 1,400 Cubans who had left their homes when Castro gained power would be the last stroke, and on April 17, 1961, they launched this assault. The invasion, however, was doomed from the beginning. Castro's forces were so superior in numbers that the invaders gave up after less than 24 hours.
