What is the Panama Canal exactly?
The Panama Canal is a man made canal that connects the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. Approximately 50 miles long, it stretches across the Isthmus of Panama. The idea of the project derived from King Charles of Spain, when he suggested to cut a piece of land from Panama to speed up trading and to make it safer. However, wars in Europe hindered the project. The French began to make a canal in 1881 (Ferdinand deLesseps) but it was abandoned 8 years later due to deLessep's struggles. The Hay Bunau Varilla Treaty was signed, giving Panama independence, hence the opportunity to build a canal. With 80,000 workers employed, it was finally opened in August of 1914. It cost $320 million and 30,000 lives, but it was VERY successful and is still in use today. Answered by Alessandra (please visit my site, raoallie.com and alessandrarao.com)
