A major worldwide embarrassment and an embargo.

Regrettably, the pro-Castro forces forced the anti-Castro forces (mainly American military covert forces) into a crippling defeat as soon as the invasion happened.

The anti-Castro forces attacked the Bay of Pigs, in an intention of assassinating Fidel Castro but perhaps, the invasion was to stop communism in Cuba to take foothold when Florencio Batista had to surrender to Fidel Castro after a "coup d'etat" in Cuba around 1952 or 1953 or so.

This set the stage for the Cuban Missile Crisis as Fidel Castro tried to create the "iron hand" in Cuba as a result of thwarting his enemies at this famous short-lived invasion.

JFK inherited this from Eisenhower (who pretty much gave the CIA free reign to do as they pleased while he played golf), but withdrew air support at the last minute. (I think one enterprising pilot participated, anyway.) As with Iraq, we were supposed to be greeted as liberators and gather immediate support. In fact, the invaders were slaughtered.

BTW, wealthy Cuban businessmen, fearful of the aftermath of Castro's victory, offered him any kind of support he wanted: money? weapons? supplies? food?

Castro's request: Bring me a reporter from the NY TIMES.

The rest is history.
