At the time, Panama belonged to Colombia but was fighting for independence. When US officials struck a deal with Colombia for rights to the canal, their legislature refused to allow it. The US then approached the Panamanian rebels and offered their support in return for the rights to build and operate the canal. The rebels accepted the offer and the US ran operations to prevent Colombia from retaining control of Panama, leading to its independence.

It has long been the ambition of the Pharaoh to dig a canal linking the Red sea with the Nile. The Canal has actually been built and rebuilt many times. The first to have the idea of connecting the Red and Mediterranean Seas was the Pharaoh Necho in Sixth Century BC. He did not complete it, however during the Persian Invasion of Egypt (also Sixth Century BC), King Darius I ordered the Canal completed. The canal consisted of two parts. One part linked the Red Sea to the Great Bitter Lake, and a second linked the Lake with one of the Nile branches in the Delta. The Canal served as a shortcut between Europe and India until the Ptolemic Era (330-30BC) but then fell to disrepair. The Roman Emperor Trajan set Egypt's slaves to work in re-digging the canal during his reign.
