Operation Mongoose aimed to undermine which regime?

• A. Batista's Cuba
• B. Fidel Castro's Cuba
• C. Sandinistas in Nicaragua
• D. Manuel Noriega's Panama

Answer: (B)

Operation Mongoose was a set of covert CIA actions aimed at destabilizing and overthrowing Fidel Castro’s communist government in Cuba after the Bay of Pigs invasion. The goal was to roll back the Cuban Revolution and prevent a Soviet-aligned regime so close to the United States. The plan involved propaganda, economic disruption, and clandestine acts, including assassination attempts, all intended to undermine Castro’s regime. Batista’s regime had already fallen years earlier, and the Sandinistas in Nicaragua and Noriega in Panama were unrelated to this effort, occurring in different countries and times.
