How did the us acquire territory for the panama canal?
Acquired by whom? It was, subsequent to the Spanish conquest, part of Spain's colony of New Granada. After the Spanish were thrown out of South America early in the 19th Century, it became part of the short-lived republic of Gran Colombia. After Gran Colombia was fragmented by civil wars in 1830, it remained a province of the smaller nation of Colombia. This situation changed early in the Twentieth Century when Panama, with the support and encouragement of the Uniteed States, declared its independence from Colombia. The U.S. engineered this event because Colombia refused to allow the US to complete the Panama Canal. Panama has been independent since its inception, though under strong US control for many years. The US had control and ownership of the canal itself (The Canal Zone) until the US gave it back to Panama late in the Twentieth Century, under a treaty signed by US President Carter.

Why is the Panama Canal located in Panama?
Well the original plan was to build a sea level canal in Nicaragua, but the route was decided to be too long and expensive. Panama offered a shorter and cheaper route, although it would involve crossing mountains that were not a problem on the route in Nicaragua. The idea of a canal in Nicaragua quietly died until in the late 1950s when the US proposed blasting the canal channel using roughly 100 "clean" hydrogen bombs all detonated simultaneously along the route of the canal as part of Project Plowshare which was then seeking peaceful uses of nuclear explosives. This would have drastically reduced the construction costs (by perhaps a factor of more than 100). But the idea was effectively killed by the 1963 Atmospheric Test Ban Treaty. There are still plans to someday replace the Panama Canal with a new much wider "Nicaragua Canal", but the costs (and political instabilities in the area) keep getting in the way. Also there are several ecological concerns with this route that must now be addressed that would not have been considered issues in the 1960s or before.

What were the benefits and drawbacks of building the Panama Canal?
The history of the Panama Canal goes back almost to the earliest explorers of the Americas. The narrow land bridge between North and South America offers a unique opportunity to create a water passage between the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. This potential was recognized by the earliest colonists of Central America, and schemes for such a canal were floated several times in the subsequent years.By the late-19th century, technological advances and commercial pressure advanced to the point where construction started in earnest. An initial attempt by France to build a sea-level canal failed, but only after a great amount of excavation was carried out. This was of use to the U.S. effort, which finally completed the present Panama Canal in 1914. Along the way, the nation of Panama was created through its separation from Colombia in 1903.Today, the canal continues to be not only a viable commercial venture, but also a vital link in world shipping.
