1961年： 美國支持的流亡古巴部隊於4月17日在古巴南部豬灣登陸，展開推翻Fidel Castro政權的軍事行動，即著名的Bay of Pigs Invasion。這次行動由美國中央情報局策劃，期望透過秘密軍事干預促使古巴內部起義，但實際情況與預期嚴重不符。登陸部隊在缺乏空中支援與情報失誤的情況下，很快遭到古巴政府軍包圍與反擊，行動在數日內宣告失敗。這次挫敗不僅令美國國際形象受損，也鞏固了Castro政權在古巴的統治地位，並促使古巴進一步靠攏蘇聯。其後局勢迅速升溫，最終導致1962年的古巴導彈危機。豬灣事件成為冷戰歷史中的重要轉折點，反映出地緣政治衝突與情報戰的複雜性。
English Version
April 17, 1961: The Bay of Pigs Invasion began when a force of Cuban exiles, backed by the United States, landed on the southern coast of Cuba in an attempt to overthrow Fidel Castro. The operation, planned by the Central Intelligence Agency, was intended to trigger a popular uprising against Castro’s government. However, the mission quickly encountered serious difficulties. The invading forces lacked adequate air support, and intelligence assessments had underestimated the strength and readiness of Cuban defenses. Within a short period, Cuban government troops surrounded and defeated the invading force, capturing or killing many of the participants. The failure of the operation was a major embarrassment for the United States and significantly strengthened Castro’s position within Cuba. In response to the invasion, Cuba moved closer to the Soviet Union, escalating Cold War tensions. This alignment eventually contributed to the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962, one of the most dangerous confrontations between nuclear powers. The Bay of Pigs invasion remains a key example of failed covert intervention and highlights the complexities of Cold War geopolitics and international conflict.
