What happened before the united states could begin building a canal in panama?
Before the United States could begin building the Panama Canal, other countries had tried but failed primarily due to the terrain. The land was very swampy, which is a great breeding ground for mosquitoes. Mosquitoes carried the disease malaria, which infected and killed many workers.
