Why did panama invasion start?
The invasion of Panama was a military operation conducted by the United States. It began as a counteraction to how the government of Panama had treated American service members. It was known as Operation Just Cause.
PANAMA REVOLUTION. After winning independence from Spain in 1821, Colombia faced secessionist moves by its province of Panama, separated by impassable jungle from the rest of the country. Throughout the nineteenth century, Panamanian nationalists rebelled against rule by distant Bogotá. As the prospect of a transisthmian canal began to seem real, they heightened their struggle, hoping for control over this major potential source of revenue.
On 3 November 1903, after the Colombian senate voted to reject a treaty that would have given the United States broad control over a canal, Panamanians launched a revolt. They were led by two groups: officials of the Panama Railroad, held by the French-owned New Panama Canal Company, which sought to benefit financially from selling the rights to build a canal; and leaders of the oligarchy, who hoped for political control of the area once free from Colombia's rule. The rebels were quickly victorious, aided by the presence of American warships sent to intimidate Colombia. On 6 November, President Theodore Roosevelt recognized the new Panamanian regime led by Manuel Amador, who had previously visited the United States seeking promises of assistance. The new government quickly signed a treaty granting all concessions sought by Roosevelt, permitting construction of the Panama Canal.
How was the US finally allowed to dig the Panama Canal?
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.

Why did the US encourage Panamanians to revolt against Colombia in 1903?
To defeat the onslaught of "zombies". It's a little-known fact that at that time, there was an influenza spreading which caused the skin to bubble and become a sickly yellow colour. The infected had a fever so severe, they acted as if they weren't themselves, thus causing people to call it the "zombie disease". There was an outbreak in Columbiana, and the people were growing scared and threatening to move to other countries, so President Roosevelt sent in troops to support the Panamanians - who were trying to ward off the infected.
What Role did the US play in Panamanian Independence?
US President Theodore Roosevelt desired to have a canal dug to quicken the travelling time from the Atlantic to the Pacific Oceans.

Panama declared independence from Columbia (with US support) on Nov 3; Panama recognized on November 6th, and treaty to build the Panama canal signed on November 19, 1903.

How did US imperialism impact Panama?

Which country colonized Panama?
The Spaniards colonized Panama in the early-to-mid 16th century and the most commonly proposed date is 1538. (The reason the date is vague is because Panama was part of the larger Spanish colony of Nueva Granada and was thus not considered individually important.) Panama was under Spanish control for roughly 300 years before choosing to join the new country of Gran Colombia with Colombia, Venezuela, and Ecuador in 1821. Although these other countries broke off from Gran Colombia relatively soon after, Panama remained attached to Colombia until the beginning of the 20th century. Panama finally gained full independence in 1903 with the assistance of the United States Navy.
