Umm… Bay of Pigs? Which is what led to the Cuban missile crisis, along with the installation of nuclear capable ballistic missiles in Turkey.

The US would have invaded Cuba during the Cuban missile crisis, if Khrushchev hadn’t backed down.

Bay of pigs was not an official invasion and it certainly was not effective, hence my comment.
