Covert operations during the Cold War the U.S. government to realize their intentions are often used as a means. In Kennedy's tenure, the way in Cuba, Vietnam has been fully utilized. Third World as a testing ground for U.S. covert operations. April 1961 U.S. plan failed Bay of Pigs invasion, U.S. policy makers should not learn the lessons, in a timely manner to adjust the policy on Cuba, but intensified, hopes to achieve through covert action to overthrow the Cuban Revolutionary Government of intent. However, due to the action plan contains irreconcilable internal contradictions, the United States attempts were not successful. U.S. covert operations against Cuba to bring a direct consequence is to bring closer to Cuba and the Soviet Union, so as the Cuban Missile Crisis between the Soviet Union during the Cold War's most dangerous nuclear confrontation foreshadowed. Basically, the Cuban missile crises hostility against Cuba from the United States. The covert action was one kind of means which the United States often used to achieve its own aim during the cold war years. The Kennedy administration applied this means to Cuba and Vietnam, and the third world became the trial places of this kind of action. After the failure of Bay of Pigs invasion, the decision-makers of the United States didn't learn the correct lessons from the failure and change its hostility toward Cuba. From then the Kennedy administration began to use the covert actions to overthrow Castro and made some operation plans. The covert action didn't succeed because of the inherent controversy of the operation, and it bought about a direct result of Cuba's approach to the Soviet Union. Fundamentally, there would be no Cuban missile crisis without the United States' hostile actions toward Cuba
