Bay of Pigs invasion or the invasion on Playa Giron like the Cubans call it.
A group of 1500 Cuban exiles and mercenaries invaded Cuba at Playa Giron.
After 3 days of combats the invaders were defeated. The invasion made Fidel Castro more popular in Cuba. To avoid another invasion the Cuban government
established close relations with the Soviet Union, this was the prelude to the
Cuban missile crisis

After the bay of pigs where the CIA and some Cuban ex-pats tried to invade and had their backsides handed to them.  The US didn't like their puppet dictator Batista being over thrown, the US tried to invade, failed and that pushed Castro into the Soviet sphere.  It is believed that if the US hadn't tried to take Cuba back by force Castro would have normalised relations with the US.
