The Bay of Pigs invasion was a failed attempt by Cuban exiles to invade Cuba and overthrow Fidel Castro in 1961. Poor decisions were likely made due to bounded awareness, where the focus was too narrow and long term consequences were not considered. Focalism and focusing illusion, where too much attention is paid to one narrow aspect, may have contributed to the failure by limiting perspective.
