Best Answer

The US Military supported Panamanian rebels seeking independence from Colombia. US warships prevented Colombian troops from reaching Panama, as there is no practical land route. Once Panama declared independence, a representative of the new government signed a treaty with the US (although his authority to do so was later questioned).

The rights to build the Panama was secured by the United States through a treaty. US opted to use a system based on locks to build the canal rather than using suggestions made by the French. Construction of the canal started in 1907.
