The Bay of Pigs invasion began when the CIA (Central Intelligence Agency) financed and trained a group of Cuban refugees to overthrow the communist government of Fidel Castro.
Fidel Castro had been a concern to U.S. officials as a new leader since he took power in Cuba with a revolution in January 1959. Castro’s attacks on U.S. companies and interests in Cuba, his fiery anti-American speeches, and Cuba’s movement toward a closer relationship with the Soviet Union led the U.S. leaders to presume that the Cuban leader was a threat to U.S. interests. In March 1960, President Dwight D. Eisenhower ordered the CIA to train and arm Cuban refugees for an attack on Cuba The new U.S President John F. Kennedy was given this program when he became president in 1961.
Even though military advisors felt that the attack on Cuba by a group of lightly armed exiles had little chance for success, Kennedy gave the approval. On April 17, 1961, around 1,200 exiles, armed with American weapons and using American ships, came to the shore at the Bay of Pigs in Cuba. The hope was that the exile force would serve as an inspiration for Cuban citizens to rise-up and overthrow Castro’s government.
The plan immediately fell apart. The landing force met with unexpected counterattacks from Castro’s military, the tiny Cuban air force sank most of the exiles’ supply ships, the United States held back from providing necessary air support, and the expected uprising never happened. Over 100 of the attackers were killed, and more than 1,100 were captured.
The failure at the Bay of Pigs cost the United States greatly. Castro used the attack to deepen his power in Cuba and he requested additional Soviet military aid. Eventually that aid included missiles, and the construction of missile bases in Cuba sparked the Cuban Missile Crisis of October 1962, between the United States and the Soviet Union.
Further, throughout much of Latin America, the United States was mocked for its use of armed force in trying to remove Castro, a man who was considered a hero to many for his stance against U.S. interference. Kennedy tried to redeem himself by publicly accepting blame for the attack and its subsequent failure, but the failed mission left the young president looking weak and indecisive.

Answer:
The entry of the United States into World War II caused vast changes in virtually every aspect of American life. Millions of men and women entered military service and saw parts of the world they would likely never have seen otherwise. The labor demands of war industries caused millions more Americans to move--largely to the Atlantic, Pacific, and Gulf coasts where most defense plants located. When World War II ended, the United States was in better economic condition than any other country in the world. Even the 300,000 combat deaths suffered by Americans paled in comparison to any other major belligerent.
Building on the economic base left after the war, American society became more affluent in the postwar years than most Americans could have imagined in their wildest dreams before or during the war. Public policy, like the so-called GI Bill of Rights passed in 1944, provided money for veterans to attend college, to purchase homes, and to buy farms. The overall impact of such public policies was almost incalculable, but it certainly aided returning veterans to better themselves and to begin forming families and having children in unprecedented numbers.
Not all Americans participated equally in these expanding life opportunities and in the growing economic prosperity. The image and reality of overall economic prosperity--and the upward mobility it provided for many white Americans--was not lost on those who had largely been excluded from the full meaning of the American Dream, both before and after the war. As a consequence, African Americans, Hispanic Americans, and American women became more aggressive in trying to win their full freedoms and civil rights as guaranteed by the Declaration of Independence and U.S. Constitution during the postwar era.
The postwar world also presented Americans with a number of problems and issues. Flushed with their success against Germany and Japan in 1945, most Americans initially viewed their place in the postwar world with optimism and confidence. But within two years of the end of the war, new challenges and perceived threats had arisen to erode that confidence. By 1948, a new form of international tension had emerged--Cold War--between the United States and its allies and the Soviet Union and its allies. In the next 20 years, the Cold War spawned many tensions between the two superpowers abroad and fears of Communist subversion gripped domestic politics at home.
In the twenty years following 1945, there was a broad political consensus concerning the Cold War and anti-Communism. Usually there was bipartisan support for most US foreign policy initiatives. After the United States intervened militarily in Vietnam in the mid-1960s, however, this political consensus began to break down. By 1968, strident debate among American about the Vietnam War signified that the Cold War consensus had shattered, perhaps beyond repair.

What is mutually assured destruction? How did it affect the way the USSR and USA interacted with one another?
Answer:
Mutually Assured Destruction, or mutually assured deterrence (MAD), is a military theory that was developed to deter the use of nuclear weapons.
Explanation:
The theory is based on the fact that nuclear weaponry is so devastating that no government wants to use them. Neither side will attack the other with their nuclear weapons because both sides are guaranteed to be totally destroyed in the conflict.
At first, the US air force military wanted to continue to use nuclear weapons to counter additional threats from communist China. But although the two world wars were filled with technological advances that were used without restraint, after Hiroshima and Nagasaki, nuclear weapons came to be both unused and unusable.
The MAD strategy was developed during the Cold War, when the U.S., USSR, held nuclear weapons of such number and strength that they were capable of destroying the other side completely and threatened to do so if attacked. Consequently, the siting of missile bases by both Soviet and Western powers was a great source of friction.
Mutually Assured Destruction is based on fear and cynicism and is one of the most brutally and horribly pragmatic ideas ever put into practice. At one point, the world really did stand opposed to each other with the power to wipe both sides out in a day.
