What role did the Spanish-American War play in the United States decision to build the Panama Canal?

During the war, ships going from San Francisco to Cuba required two months to sail around South America.

The United States acquired several territories in South America as a result of the war.

The United States needed a shorter route to the Philippines, where fighting continued after the war.

Spain and the United States agreed to build the canal as part of the treaty that ended the war.

The Spanish war played a role in the building of the Panama Canal because it allowed US ships to travel from the Atlantic to the Pacific faster.

Explanation: thats all i know

the economy of japan in 1945 was completely destroyed. it is a lie that the americans bombed something in japan. they bombed everything and residential areas and factories. the entire industry of japan was eliminated.

during the us government in japan, there was no real development of the industry. japan grew rice, made sake and sold it on the world market, so much that there was a famine in japan.

however, in 1948, the development of some keiretsu began. it began to give growth but not systemic. where the money came from - the united states did not give anything to the keiretsu, not a cent but dzaybattsu in 1943, realizing that the defeat inevitably part of their money through latin america brought to the us by investing in the us economy. for example in the production of aircraft, cars, construction of houses. in 1948 they began to gradually return the money.

in 1950, the korean war began. ships were repaired in japan, japan transported cargoes for this war and people, and provided logistic support. and this earned some money.

in 1952, japan gained independence and the keiretsu began to return money from the united states to japan.

in 1954, the economy began to grow 5% per year. in 1962, due to the actions of the government and the preparation for the olympics, it accelerated to 9%. in 1966 it fell to 6%.

japan reached its prewar level in 1964 at the same time as the olympics.
