Which of the following was a botched attempt to overthrow fidel castro?

a. cuban missile crisis
b. marshall plan
c. bay of pigs

The correct answer is C. The Bay of Pigs Invasion was a botched attempt to overthrow Fidel Castro.

The Bay of Pigs Invasion was a military operation in which troops of Cuban exiles, supported by the United States, invaded Cuba in April 1961, trying to create a beachhead, form a provisional government and seek the support of the Organization of American States and the recognition of the international community. The action ended in failure in less than 65 hours. It was completely crushed by the Militias and the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Cuba. More than a hundred invading soldiers died, and the Cubans captured another 1200, along with important war material.
