Best Answer

When negotiations with Colombia failed, Roosevelt ordered the US Navy to block ships carrying troops and supplies to battle the groups fighting for independence in Panama. Shortly after Panamanians established their nation, the US got its treaty for the Canal Zone and bought out the French company that had been trying futilely to build the canal.
