The Bay of Pigs (Spanish: Bahía de Cochinos, also known as Playa Girón) is an inlet on the southern coast of Cuba. It is located in the province of Matanzas and is west of the city of Cienfuegos.
It is the site of the failed Bay of Pigs Invasion, a 1961 US-supported invasion by Cuban exiles during John F. Kennedy's presidency. The US denied all knowledge of the attack. The intention of the invasion was to overthrow the government of Fidel Castro. The invasion took place at a beach called Playa Girón.

The bay of pigs happened during the Cuban missile crisis. It was an invasion of a bay on Cuba to stop the advancement of the Russian occupancy of Cuba. It was quickly ended because of a leak of intelligence and the mission was ended.

This was during the Kennedy administration. He promised the freedom fighters in Cuba that if they started to overthrow Castro we would come in and back them up. He lied and they were slaughtered.

A very embarassing invasion of Cuba by the U.S. that 'didn't happen.'
