Closet Communist Castro After coming into power Castro was a so called “closet communist” because he wouldn’t acknowledge the fact he was a dictator. JFK trained CIA members in putting a stop to the new Cuban government to prevent the possible spread of communism and because it was also obvious that when Castro came into power he did not share any or the same intersts with the US government. Castro and the Cuban military anticipated the attack that was to come from the US(Bay of Pigs) and put a stop to it when the Anti-Castro forces invaded with the large numbers of men in the Cuban military. http://www.reuters.com/article/2008/02/19/us-cubacastro-idUSN1941945720080219 Return to Exhibit Captured In the Bay of Pigs Anti-Castro forces in a line to be taken into Cuban prisons after the Bay Of Pigs. The CIA sent these forces to prevent the leadership of Fidel Castro and possibly the spread of communism. Cuba anticipated the invasion and the Anti-Castro forces were met by the Cuban military rather than the revolutionaries.

Many forces against Castro were either killed or taken to Cuban prisons. Anti-Castro forces were outnumbered by the Cuban military and the US did not have any air support due to JFK wanting to cut funds, so the Anti-Castro forces did not have much support which resulted in the Bay of Pigs being a failure.

Air Support in the Bay of Pigs April 15, 1961, the day the battle truly began, planes with Cuban marks flown by US military pilots attacked several military spots on Cuba. Although, the plane attacks for the 16th of April were canceled from direct orders of JFK, so that he could cut losses. Then, on April 17, 1961 around 1,400 brigade soldiers landed on on the southern coast of Cuba which resulted in a US loss due to the lack of air support and being outnumbered. http://forums.military.com/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/8280047191 001/m/8120091691001/p/3 Return to Exhibit JFK signs Nuclear Test Ban Treaty In this photo it shows the signing of the Nuclear Test Ban Treaty on August 5th, 1963, by both the US and the Soviet Union leaders. After tensions between the US and Soviets settled down and threats of nuclear warfare weren’t a problem, the treaty was written to prevent nuclear war and keep humanity safe from possibly ending itself. http://www.jfklibrary.org/JFK/JFK-in-History/Nuclear-TestBan-Treaty.aspx Return to Exhibit Protestors against Nuclear war These are protestors against nuclear warfare between the US and Soviet Union. The US government took notice to this and put thought into what they were really doing which eventually led to the Limited Nuclear Test Ban Treaty so that they would end the threat of harming themselves and other nations in the process of nuclear warfare. http://richtervideos.com/LinusPaulingCrusadingScientist/ Return to Exhibit Nuclear Radiation level graph These graphs show the rise and fall of deformed births.
