NICARAGUA CANAL

The Nicaragua Canal was built and is operated by an American Commercial Company. Owing to difficulties arising from the Clayton-Bulwer Treaty, war breaks out between Great Britain and the United States. The Canal is seized and held by an English fleet from Jamaica. All vessels now building or authorized for the United States can be considered as available for service. Great Britain employs one fourth of her present fleet. No land forces are to be used except those afforded by the usual organizations of the respective fleets. The objective of the Campaign on the part of the United States is the re-possession, with full use of the Canal. What plans would you propose for effecting this purpose? The theatre of war is confined to the West Indies, Caribbean Sea and the Pacific in the vicinity of Central America.
