Central American War (WW3)

Overview
The Cental American War was an invasion of Central America by the Brazilian Union that lasted just under a month. The invasion started during the South American War of Unification and lasted until after that war ended. By capturing Central America, the Brazilian Union could provide the Axis Coalition with total access to the south border of the United States. This war began with the invasion of Panama and ended in the removal of Brazilian forces from Mexico. The Alliance sent some forces to Central America, but was so weak and stretched so thin at this time that it couldn't send enough to fully stop the invasion. This invasion set the stage for the Axis Coalition to close in on the United States and prepare an invasion.
