Theodore Roosevelt was the president who was most responsible for the building of the Panama Canal. He engineered a revolution in Panama which made it possible for the US take over the canal from the French who had begun the project. Work continued throughout Taft's term and it finally opened for business in 1914 when Woodrow Wilson was President.
