The history of Panamas Government was very closely linked to the building of the Panama Canal. In 1903 it belonged to the Columbians, who rejected a treaty that would allow the US to build the Canal. A revolution ensued, led by a French railroad company, and a group of wealthy people who would profit from the building of the canal. The government that formed was called the Republic of Panama. It is still in power today, despite the series of events that occurred in the 1980's involving Manuel Niroega. === ===
