Teddy Roosevelt took over the area to build the canal with no legal consent from Panama to be there.
U.S. ships were tired of taking the long way to get to a certain place so they decided to build the panama canal :)
President Jimmy Carter, although the USA really created the nation of Panama to get the canal in the first place, so President Jimmy Carter was actually doing the right thing when he gave Panama the right to control something that was built on their land in the first place. Panama still allows the USA to have a say in how the canal is run.
Gamal Abdel Nasser, President of Egypt, decided on July 26, 1956 to nationalize the Suez Canal.
people are saying that the canal is too narrow to fit the new ships so they cant really get through but I would say yes other than the fact it is narrow
Theadore Roosevelt. He decided to build the Panama Canal because it offered a faster route from the Atlantic to the Pacific ocean across the country of Panama which would save many people a lot of time and distance.
He wanted to get the rights to build a canal in Panama at a lower price.
President Theodore Roosevelt aided in the building of the Panama Canal. Construction began in 1904 and was completed ten years later.
