Answer 2

The correct answer is B) in each situation, the U.S. used military intimidation to achieve its military goals.

A key similarity between how the U.S. gained trade access to Japan and how it gained control of the Panama Canal was that in each situation, the U.S. used military intimidation to achieve its military goals.

The United States has one of the most Powerful armies of the world, as long as Russia. That military strength has helped the United States to impose its will in many regions of the world and support its economic and political interest in some countries. That was the case when they gained trade access to Japan and how it gained control of the Panama Canal.
