The primary purpose of building the Suez Canal was to create a direct maritime route between Europe and Asia, significantly reducing travel time and distance by allowing ships to bypass the lengthy journey around the southern tip of Africa. Similarly, the Panama Canal was constructed to connect the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, facilitating faster and more efficient shipping routes for trade and military movement, while avoiding the perilous passage around Cape Horn at the southern tip of South America. Both canals were pivotal in enhancing global trade and economic connectivity.
