Cold War Confrontations in Latin America Ch. 28

The Alliance for Progress The Alliance for Progress was initiated by President Kennedy in 1961. It aimed to establish economic cooperation between North America and South America. The Alliance for Progress was intended to counter the emerging Communist threat from Cuba.

The Bay of Pigs President Kennedy inherited from the Eisenhower administration a CIA-backed scheme to topple Fidel Castro from power by invading Cuba with anti-Communist exiles. When the invasion failed, Kennedy refused to rescue the insurgents, forcing them to surrender. Widely denounced as a fiasco, the Bay of Pigs defeat damaged U.S. credibility.

The Bay of Pigs The Bay of Pigs failure, along with continuing American covert efforts to assassinate Castro, pushed the Cuban dictator into a closer alliance with the Soviet Union. Soviet Premier Khrushchev responded by secretly sending nuclear missiles to Cuba.

The Cuban Missile Crisis The Cuban Missile Crisis was precipitated by the discovery of Soviet missile sites in Cuba. The Soviets withdrew their missiles from Cuba in exchange for a promise form the United States not to attack Fidel Castro. As part of the negotiations to end the Cuban Missile Crisis, President Kennedy promised to refrain from a military invasion of Cuba.
