🇨🇺 1961 — The Bay of Pigs Landing.

Before dawn on April 17, 1961, Cuban exiles of Brigade 2506 stormed ashore at Playa Girón, hoping to ignite an uprising against Fidel Castro.
Outgunned and abandoned without U.S. air support, the invasion collapsed within three days—marking a defining failure of early Cold War covert operations.
