Was the Bay of Pigs invasion successful in overthrowing Fidel Castro?

  1. Yes

  2. No

  3. Partially

  4. It's unknown

The correct answer is: No

The Bay of Pigs invasion, which took place in 1961, was an attempt by the United States to overthrow the communist government of Fidel Castro in Cuba. While the invasion was planned and organized by the CIA, it ultimately failed in its objective. This is why the correct answer is option B No. The invasion was met with strong resistance from the Cuban military and citizens, and ultimately resulted in the capture and imprisonment of 1,189 Cuban exiles who were trained and led by the CIA. Therefore, options A (Yes), C (Partially), and D (It's unknown) are all incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the outcome of the invasion.
