Spanish Civil War
The Spanish Civil War was a major conflict that devastated Spain from 17 July 1936 to 1 April 1939. It began after an attempted ''coup d'état by a group of Spanish Army generals against the government of the Second Spanish Republic, then under the leadership of president Manuel Azaña. The nationalist coup was supported by the conservative Spanish Confederation of the Autonomous Right (Confederación Española de Derechas Autónomas, or C.E.D.A), monarchists known as Carlist groups, and the Fascist Falange (Falange Española de las J.O.N.S.''). Following the partially successful coup, Spain was left divided as supporters of the existing Republican government fought the forces of the new Nationalist government for control of the country. The war ended with the victory of the Nationalists, the overthrow of the Republican government, and the founding of an authoritarian state led by General Francisco Franco. In the aftermath of the civil war, all right-wing parties were fused into the state party of the Franco regime.

Cuba celebrates ending Bay of Pigs invasion

This trip was part of one of our excursions for our Spanish Culture and Civilization 'class', which goes through our WashU program. Luckily, it was a beautiful, sunny day and we began touring the city by checking out some of the Romanesque churches, cathedrals, and other pieces of architecture that defined Segovia.

Although obviously no longer in use, it was a great site to see although due to our tour guide incessant historical, cultural, spiritual, and etymological explanations, I often lost interest in what she saying, and instead focused on the awesome structure. As the day wore on, I began to feel tired, and proceeded take an hour and half snooze in my hotel room, which was pretty much in the center of the city.

5 Cuban journalists were in Miami investigating the role of people behind the terror attacks on Cuban hotels. They accidently discovered that, the same people who were trying to kill Fidel & invade Cuba, were the same CIA terrorist who had assassinated President Kennedy. When they reported their findings to the Cuban government, who sent the reports to the FBI, to try and arrest the Miami terrorists, the FBI arrested the 5 Cuban investigators. The 5 Cubans found numerous terrorists, who were part of the Bush CIA team who had assassinated President Kennedy, and were now trying to assassinate Fidel. They were: Nixon, Howard Hunt, Frank Sturgis, Mario Rubio, Luis Posada, George HW Bush and Bernard Barker. The Watergate crew. As soon as the CIA killed JFK, Bush & the CIA launched over 90 terrorist attacks on Cuba from Miami. JFK was a brave person standing up against the Bush CIA's attempt to invade Cuba. JFK stopped the invasion of Cuba. Because JFK saved Cuba, the Bush CIA decided to kill JFK, so they could force an invasion of Cuba. This is more PROOF that Bush and his CIA killed JFK for the corporations that lost land in Cuba: Pepsi, Hershey, Dole, etc.. JFK gave his life to save Cuba. We patriots must ask Obama to free the 5 Cuban journalists who were trying to stop the terrorism against the US & Cuba. There is nothing secret about the Bay of Pigs. I should know. I was there.

Cuba has held one of its largest military parades in decades, to mark the 50th anniversary of the failed CIA-led invasion at the Bay of Pigs. Flags were draped on buildings and military planes roared through the sky as Cubans celebrated the occasion, seen as a triumph over the US. The celebrations come ahead of a long-delayed congress of the ruling Communist Party, which is expected to endorse President Raul Castro's plans for radical economic change. Hundreds of thousands of people joined marches in the capital, Havana. Michael Voss reports.

Bay of Pigs invasion, Cuba. On April 17, 1961, 1400 Cuban exiles launched what became a botched invasion at the Bay of Pigs on the south coast of Cuba. The first major error occurred on April 15, 1961, when eight B-26 bombers left Nicaragua to bomb Cuban airfields. The operation failed to destroy the entire arsenal of planes, leaving most of Castro's air force intact. The CIA had used obsolete World War II B-26 bombers, and painted them to look like Cuban air force planes. As news broke of the attack and American complicity became apparent after photos of the repainted planes became public, President Kennedy canceled the second air strike. On April 17, the Cuban-exile invasion force, or Brigade 2506, landed at beaches along the Bay of Pigs and immediately came under heavy fire. The planes left unharmed in the earlier air attack strafed the invaders, sank two escort ships, and destroyed half of the exile's air support. Bad weather hampered the ground force, which had to work with soggy equipment and low stores of ammunition. During the next 24 hours, Castro had 20000 troops advancing on the beach and the Cuban Air Force continued to control the skies. As the situation grew increasingly grim, President Kennedy authorized an �air-umbrella� at dawn on April 19, which called for six unmarked American fighter planes to help defend the Brigade's B-26 aircraft flying from Nicaragua. But the B-26s arrived an hour late (most likely due to time zone confusion) and were shot down <b>...</b>

On 19 April 1961, at least seven Cubans plus two CIA-hired US citizens (Angus K. McNair and Howard F. Anderson) were executed in Pinar del Rio province, after a two-day trial. On 20 April, Humberto Sorí Marin was executed at Fortaleza de la Cabaña, having been arrested on 18 March following infiltration into Cuba with 14 tons of explosives. His fellow conspirators Rogelio Gonzalez Corzo (alias 'Francisco Gutierrez'), Rafael Diaz Hanscom, Eufemio Fernandez, Arturo Hernandez Tellaheche and Manuel Lorenzo Puig Miyar were also executed.
Between April and October 1961, hundreds of executions took place in response to the invasion. They took place at various prisons, including the Fortaleza de la Cabaña and El Morro Castle. On December 21, 1962, Cuban Prime Minister Fidel Castro and James B. Donovan, a US lawyer, signed an agreement to exchange 1,113 prisoners for US$53 million in food and medicine, sourced from private donations and from companies expecting tax concessions. On 24 December 1962, some prisoners were flown to Miami, others following on the ship African Pilot, plus about 1,000 family members also allowed to leave Cuba. On 29 December 1962, President John F. Kennedy attended a 'welcome back' ceremony for Brigade 2506 veterans at the Orange Bowl in Miami, Florida.
Additionally, Guevara answered a set of questions from Leo Huberman of Monthly Review following the invasion. In one reply, Guevara was asked to explain the growing number of Cuban counter-revolutionaries and defectors from the regime, to which he replied that the repelled invasion was the climax of counter revolution, and that afterwards such actions "fell drastically to zero." In regards to the defections of some prominent figures within the Cuban government, Guevara remarked that this was because "the socialist revolution left the opportunists, the ambitious, and the fearful far behind and now advances toward a new regime free of this class of vermin."
As CIA director Allen Dulles later stated, they thought that once the troops were on the ground any action required for success would be authorized to prevent failure as Eisenhower had done in Guatemala in 1954 after the invasion looked as if it was collapsing. President Kennedy was angered with the CIA's failure, and claimed he wanted "to splinter the CIA in a thousand pieces and scatter it to the winds." Kennedy commented to his journalist friend Ben Bradlee, "The first advice I'm going to give my successor is to watch the generals and to avoid feeling that because they were military men their opinions on military matters were worth a damn."
Later analysis
Maxwell Taylor survey
On 22 April 1961, President Kennedy asked General Maxwell D. Taylor, Robert F. Kennedy (Attorney General), Admiral Arleigh Burke and Allen Dulles (Director of Central Intelligence) to form the Cuba Study Group, to report on the lessons to be learned from the failed operation. On 13 June, General Taylor submitted the report of the Board of Inquiry to President Kennedy. The defeat was attributed to lack of early realization of the impossibility of success by covert means, inadequate aircraft, limitations of armaments, pilots and air attacks to attempt plausible deniability, and ultimately, loss of important ships and lack of ammunition.
Invasion legacy in Cuba
The invasion is often recognized as making Castro even more popular, adding nationalistic sentiments to the support for his economic policies. Following the April 15 air attacks on Cuban airfields, he declared the revolution "Marxist-Leninist". By March 2007, about half of the Brigade had died.In April of 2010, the Cuban Pilot's Association debuted a monument at the Kendall-Tamiami Executive Airport memorializing the 16 aviators for the exile side killed during the battle. The memorial consists of an obelisk and a restored B-26 replica aircraft atop a large Cuban flag.
Playa Girón today
.]] Little remains of the original village, which in the 1960s was small and remote. It is still remote, with just a single road to the village and out again, but it has grown markedly since the invasion. Few people there today were residents at the time. The road from the north is marked by frequent memorials to the Cuban dead. There are billboards marking where invaders were rounded up and showing pictures of their being led away. Another at the entrance to the village quotes Castro's comment that the conflict was the "first defeat of Yankee imperialism." A two-room museum, with aircraft and other military equipment outside, shows pictures, arms and maps of the attack and photos of Cuban soldiers who died. Billboards and other material also remember the US-financed 'mercenaries'.
