Explain the importance of the Bay of Pigs invasion for relations between the USA and the Soviet Union (8 marks)
Use your notes
An important thing to note is that the Bay of Pigs invasion was organized by Fidel Castro's opponents but failed massively. Since Castro favored socialism the failure of the invasion reaffirmed socialism's grip on the Caribbean nation. From here I think you can argue out the obvious impact it had on the USA-Soviet Union relations, including Kennedy's reaction to the USA-Cuba relations. If you need further assistance, please let me know.
