What happens
In what must be considered a monumental blow to the American war effort, Japanese forces have landed in Panama and taken control of the canal after forcing the surrender of its garrison. Several parties of American and Panamanian soldiers reportedly escaped into the nearby jungle to wage guerrilla warfare, but it is not believed that they can significantly threaten the Japanese presence. With the fall of the canal, American naval forces now have to round South America to reach the US West Coast, giving the Imperial Japanese Navy a significant strategic advantage.
