Operation Just Cause, launched by the U.S. on December 20, 1989, was a large-scale military invasion aimed at overthrowing Panamanian dictator Manuel Noriega. Once a key CIA ally, Noriega had become heavily involved in drug trafficking and political repression, leading to his indictment and growing tensions with the U.S. The invasion swiftly dismantled Noriega's military forces, culminating in a dramatic manhunt as he sought refuge in the Vatican embassy. After weeks of psychological warfare, Noriega surrendered, leading to his extradition, trial, and eventual imprisonment. The operation restored democracy in Panama, but left lasting scars on the country, while also raising questions about U.S. interventionism in Latin America.
