Best Answer

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.
