What is the man made waterway that connects the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans?
It is the Panama Canal. The canal cuts through the Isthmus of Panama, a narrow strip of land connecting North America from South America.

When did they dig the Panama Canal?
The building of the Panama Canal was first started in 1881 by the French Government and due to a variety of problems ended unsuccessfully in 1889. The French failed because they tried to copy their success with the Suez Canal by building the Panama Canal at sea-level, but trying to cut a very deep trench through the Panamanian hills proved just too much. The builders themselves also suffered very severely from malaria and other diseases. In 1903, Panama officially declared itself an independent country, giving the United States construction rights for the canal. In February of 1904, the US Congress officially created the Panama Canal Zone. The Panama Canal was built by the United States between 1904 and 1914 on territory leased from Panama. The American designers realized the cut would have to go over the hills, using locks replenished from upland rivers. Incidentally, although nominally at sea-level and through a low-lying desert plain, the Suez Canal does have locks, but only at its Northern end and to cope with tidal differences between the Mediterranean and Red Seas. After 10 years of extremely difficult conditions, primarily caused by disease, the US completed the Panama Canal on August 15, 1914. Shipping traffic started using the canal from its unofficial opening on 15 August 1914, but it was officially opened by US president Woodrow Wilson on 12 July 1920.
What canal connects Mediterranean and red seas?
The Suez Canal connects the Mediterranean Sea and the Red Sea. The canal, since at least 1956 belongs to Egypt. When it was first built in approximately 1869, it was a French- British company that built and for all practical purposes was "controlled" by these European powers. The canal has no locks and other constructions such as the Panama Canal. The Suez Canal was built as a straight link between the two seas. 11,000 "forced labor" Egyptians built the Canal.
