The Bay of Pigs was a failed invasion of Cuba by a group of Cuban exiles, organized and supported by the United States in April 1961. The aim of the invasion was to overthrow the communist government of Fidel Castro, which had come to power in 1959. However, the invasion was a disaster, as the Cuban military easily repelled the attack, and most of the invaders were either killed or captured. The Bay of Pigs was a significant setback for U.S. foreign policy in Latin America and emboldened the Soviet Union to further support communist regimes in the region.

McCarthyism was a period of political persecution and paranoia in the United States during the early 1950s, characterized by the widespread fear of communist infiltration in American society. The term is named after Senator Joseph McCarthy, who led a series of high-profile investigations and hearings aimed at rooting out suspected communists and their sympathizers. The investigations ruined the careers and reputations of many innocent people, and led to a climate of fear and suspicion that lasted for years. McCarthyism is widely regarded as a dark chapter in American history and a cautionary tale about the dangers of political witch hunts and extremism.
