Which operation aimed to overthrow Manuel Noriega in Panama in 1989?

• A. Operation Desert Shield
• B. Operation Enduring Freedom
• C. Operation Just Cause
• D. Operation Urgent Fury

Answer: (C)

This question tests your knowledge of which named operation accomplished the removal of Manuel Noriega in Panama. In December 1989, the United States launched Operation Just Cause specifically to depose Noriega, restore democratic governance in Panama, and protect American citizens and interests, including the integrity of the Panama Canal. The other listed operations correspond to different events: Desert Shield was the buildup for the Gulf War in the Persian Gulf region in 1990–1991; Enduring Freedom began the U.S. campaign in Afghanistan in 2001; Urgent Fury was the 1983 invasion of Grenada. So the operation linked to overthrowing Noriega is Just Cause.
