In 1881 a private French company began constructing a sea-level canal in Panama. However, the project was forced to go bankrupt in 1889. In 1903 the United States helped Panama revolt against Colombian rule and declare itself an independent nation. In return, the United States was granted control of a canal zone in Panama. Construction of a canal began in 1904. The Panama Canal opened on August 15, 1914.
