    The Bay of Pigs Invasion was a failure that was an embarrassment for the Kennedy administration.

    Explanation:

    The Bay of Pigs Invasion was a military operation launched in April 1961 by anti-Castro troops trained by the US secret service to overthrow the Cuban government, organized by the CIA.

    Preparations for the military action began during Dwight D. Eisenhower's presidency, but the execution came during John Fitzgerald Kennedy's administration. Long before operations began, intelligence warned Kennedy that the success of the operation was questionable, with the majority of Cuban civilians backing Fidel Castro. The Soviet secret services also became aware of the US action and provided detailed information to the Cuban regime.

    After the operation began, Castro mobilized not only the army but also the civilian population with lightning-fast weapons against landed invaders, who were pushed into the sea in less than two days.

    The CIA sought volunteers for the action among Cuban refugees fleeing to the United States, who were later trained in camps in Guatemala, Puerto Rico, and Nicaragua. 1500 people formed the Brigade 2506, receiving instructions like artillery, paratroopers, pilots, etc.

    The invasion completely collapsed within 24 hours. Castro mobilized 25,000 regular soldiers, 9,000 police officers and about 200,000 irregular civilian militiamen against the invaders. With such an overpowering, a handful of armed invaders could not fight.
