Each threatened to go to war with the other, if either one tried go ahead with a project to build a canal. US President Alfred Thayer Mahan famously shot down one such CS proposal in Nicaragua.

  • In 1987, at the height of the Central American civil wars of the 1980s, Victory Games released Central America: The United States' Backyard War.

Rather, its scenarios focused on periods of high-intensity combat, such as US invasions of Nicaragua, Sandinista invasions of Honduras, and Tet-style guerrilla offensives.
