Reagan and the 1980s — Unit test

Question 23 • U.S. History 2026 - 3311 B

Which best describes the US invasion of Panama?

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

Explanation

The invasion’s main goal was to remove Manuel Noriega from power, and Noriega surrendered in January 1990 after U.S. forces invaded in December 1989. This made the operation successful in achieving that goal. The Panama Canal was not won back; its transfer to Panama was governed by earlier treaties.
