What was the goal of the Bay of Pigs invasion?

To capture Che Guevara
To find WMDs
To overthrow Fidel Castro
To start a global war

The correct answer is: To overthrow Fidel Castro

The Bay of Pigs invasion was a CIA-led mission authorized by the US government in the early 1960s to overthrow the Cuban leader, Fidel Castro. Hence, the correct answer is C. Option A, to capture Che Guevara, was not the main goal of the invasion, although he was a prominent figure in the Cuban Revolution. Option B, to find WMDs, is incorrect as Cuba did not possess any weapons of mass destruction at the time. Option D, to start a global war, is not accurate as the US government did not intend for the Bay of Pigs invasion to escalate into a larger conflict.
