Explanation:
Before the Panama Canal was completed in 1941, the only way to trade was to sail around Cape Horn in South America which was a 13,000 mile trip and it took about 3-6 months. It was a rough journey with seasickness, and treacherous waters. However, once the Panama Canal was completed, the distance was cut by almost half to 5200 miles and the time of journey down to about a month.
Because of the Canal, the U.S. was able to ship supplies so much faster. The faster a country can ship, the more willing they are to trade. They are willing to trade more because they don't have to spend so much money on fuel. Because they spend less money on fuel, they can carry more supplies. Now most all the money the U.S. gets from trade is through the Panama Canal. If you are confused, here is an example of how it works. If England were selling products to Peru, England's economy would suffer if the Canal were not operating. Without access to the Canal, the cost of exports from England to Peru would significantly increase because England would have to regain the added expenses involved in sailing around South America. Because of increased prices, Peru could not afford to purchase as many products from England, which in turn would decrease England's revenues gained from exports. Decreased revenues means that England would have less money available to purchase products from the United States and other countries. A "domino effect" would be set in motion as the United States and other countries experienced similar problems with their exports and imports.
America prospers from the same example. If San Fransisco wanted to make trade with New York, and they were trading perishable food items, the three month voyage (without the canal) would spoil the food. But with the Panama Canal the one month voyage would keep the goods perfectly ripe and ready for trade.

Answer:The Empire of Japan's attack on U.S. forces at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, December 7, 1941, motivated the United States to join the Allies' struggle against Japan, Germany and Italy during World War II. Texans responded to the call for troops in great numbers. After four long years of war, Texas had supplied a greater percentage of men and women to the armed forces than any other state with more than 700,000 in uniform.
While thousands fought on foreign battlefields, others played vital roles within Texas' borders. Fair climate, frequent clear skies, bountiful resources and a central location made Texas an ideal setting for wartime facilities. Military posts sprang up statewide to accommodate the constant stream of new recruits, and industrial plants developed rapidly in support of the war effort. As a result, Texas beef, petroleum products, medical supplies, weapons and equipment were used by troops overseas.
