The Bay of Pigs invasion was a disaster based on faulty intelligence about a potential of a massive uprising in Cuba once an anti-Castro force landed. What happened in reality was that the population was either apathetic or supported Castro when the US backed Cuban exiles landed. The event was key factor in Castro and Khrushchev's decision to put missiles in Cuba which started the Cuban Missile Crisis a year and half later.
What if the invasion never occurs? Let's say Kennedy looks at the plan and decides it's too politically risky and vetos it. Does Castro still swings to becoming a firm Soviet ally? If there is no Cuban Missile Crisis, does that mean another similar nuclear standoff occur somewhere else later?
