That was President Theodore Roosevelt. However a little back story on the Canal is that the US government actually covertly started and funded the Panamanian Revolution which separated Panama from Columbia and in the end the US forced Panama into giving up the land that would eventually be the Panama Canal however the US covered their tracks and formed an agreement with France to make it seem as if France had bought the land so it was all legit on the international scene then France handed it over to the US who completed the construction of the canal. <span />
As is known by history buffs and most people, the Japanese were a very honorable civilization. They worked hard to win, and when all else failed, they committed suicide. Not the type of suicide you think, no, they would "Kamikaze." This meant that all else had failed. It included the individual taking his/her life to try one last time to kill the enemy.
I have a well-known example for you. During some major ocean operations, the Japanese would fill their planes with bombs and then dive into the ships. This was a trend with the Japanese, and the soldiers would do almost the same.
Hope this Helps! :)
