Today Austin is presenting his project over the Bay of Pigs Invasion. The Bay of Pigs Invasion has also been called La Batalla de Giron because that is its name in Spanish. The invasion was an extremely unsuccessful attempt by the CIA to train Cuban Exiles into overthrowin Fidel Castro. At the beginning of April 1960 the Cia started to recruit Anti-Castro Cubans. They recruited until July 1960. The CIA trained people at Upseppa island. The Cuban Government knew that the US was planning an invasion but they did not know when it was going to happen. To throw off Castro and his men there was a fake landing before they actually landed on the Bay of Pigs. The people landed of The Bay of Pigs on April 17 at midnight. The Bay of Pigs invasion lasted nearly four days and a total of 176 men were killed.
