How did US get rights to build panama canal?
A good question. The country of Panama had been part of the nation of Colombia. The United States brought great pressure to bear on Colombia to grant independence to Panama, at the same time negotiating with Panamanian entities for rights to build the canal. Given these factors, it's reasonable to say that Panama granted the US a long-term lease to build, operate, maintain and control the Panama Canal as a quid pro quo for its independence.
Why did Teddy Roosevelt encourage a revolt against Colombia?
Roosevelt wanted to build a Panama Canal. Colombia refused to agree to a settlement for the Isthmus of Panama. Roosevelt assisted the Panamanians in revolting against Colombia. When Panama declared its' independence, the US was quick to officially recognize its' independence. The US then successfully negotiated a treaty with Panama to build the Canal.
What was the effect of the revolution in Panama in 1903?
The nation of Panama was created in 1903 because Roosevelt sent the U.S navy to support a revolution on the isthmus. This allowed Panama to become independent of Colombia and the US to get the land to build the Panama Canal.
Through which countrys does the Panama canal pass through?
Panama is the only country the canal passes through. There was initially interest (a bit of which remains to this day) of building the canal through Nicaragua - there are three proposals being 'floated' around in Nicaragua currently to build a new trans-oceanic passing, but the Panama Canal only goes through Panama.
