Judith Buck · Answer 1

The correct answer is D. The Bay of Pigs invasion should occur last in the timeline, as it took place in 1961, while all the other events took place through the 1800s.

Explanation:

The invasion of the Bay of Pigs was an unsuccessful attempt to invade southern Cuba and overthrow Fidel Castro's government with CIA-trained exile Cubans with support from the US government.

The plan was implemented in April 1961, less than three months after John F. Kennedy became President of the United States. The Cuban forces, which had received material support and training from eastern bloc nations, defeated the invasion forces in three days.

Mylee Lowery · Answer 2

The correct answer is letter D.

It was an aborted invasion of Cuba at Cochinos Bay (Bay of Pigs), to Cubans on the southwest coast for about 1,500 Cuban exiles in front of Fidel Castro. It was funded and directed by the US government.
