AHC: The "Bayou of Pigs" succeeds.

The conspirators were a bunch of unsubtle and icompetent idiots. I dobut their grandiose takeover plans would succeed. Even the islanders could overpower them if all else fails, even while not being armed.

I think that the average Alien Space Bat would be challenged to pull this off:D What ever about now back then the Cuban people were well glad to shut of the Batista regime.

However I am willing to give this a go!

First of either no Batista govement or else make it democratic. Less US interference and even more important keep the mafia out of the picture. Your POD would most likely have to be the 1920`s. The problem that you then have after those changes happening is that there most likely would not have been a successful Cuban revolution is indeed there was one in the first place
 
You need Kennedy to guarantee US air support. The Bay of Pigs invasion was doomed to fail otherwise, as the Cuban exiles on the ground were heavily outnumbered and outgunned.

Wrong Pigs. This is the attempt by some KKK blowhards to take over Dominica, an island in the Carribean (not to be confused with the Dominican Republic). I'm pretty sure no American President except maybe Rockwell will give them support.

Remember they had millions of dollars in finances, the backing of South Africa and the support of the islands former prime minister. It's execution went south fast, but it is not totally ASB.
