Question 9 • United States History and Geography

Which best describes the US invasion of Panama?

Answer
A
It was unsuccessful because President Noriega closed the Panama Canal.
B
It was successful because the United States won back the Panama Canal.
C
It was unsuccessful because more drugs were sent to the United States.
D
It was successful because President Noriega surrendered after one month.

Explanation

The invasion succeeded in removing Manuel Noriega from power, and he surrendered to U.S. forces in January 1990. The surrender came about two weeks after the invasion began, rather than a full month, so choice C is the best match but its timing is imprecise. The United States did not win back the Panama Canal; its control had already been scheduled to transfer to Panama under earlier treaties.
