Panama

About 1163 miles. Here's why: Miami, FL is about 25.8 degrees North latitude. Panama City, Panama is about 9.0 degrees N. The difference is about 16.8 degrees, or .293 radians. The radius of the earth is about 6378 km. So the N-S surface distance along the Earth's surface is .293 times 6378, or about 1870 km. Similarly, Miami is about 80.2 degrees W longitude. Panama City is about 79.5 degrees W. The difference is about .7 degrees, or .0122 radians. .0122 x 6378 = about 78 km. Now we have a right triangle with 1870 km on one leg and 78 km on another. The hypotenuse is sqrt(1870^2 + 78 ^2) or about 1872 km. (We probably could have neglected the E-W distance, since they are on virtually the same longitude.) The answer is 1872 km. To convert to miles, multiply by .6214 to arrive at 1163 mi.

They built the Panama canal.

The Panama Canal helped the import and export of goods. This created jobs. Trading

helped to increase the economy. Travel became easier and faster. There were particular benefits for the U.S., as the nation had recently expaned fully out west to California, which was colonized in 1802. when gold was discovered in California soon after, America was eager to create a short sea passage to her western-most parts for gold shipment, rather than transporting gold over land to her east coast. America was also interested in easier access to her pacific colonies, such as Hawaii, Guam, and the Philippines, which she had acquired from Spain just before that time.

Quite simply that ships wishing to go to the opposite side of the USA or those wishing to navigate around the North and South American continents could now do so by passing directly through the middle rater then having to travel the extra distance and navigate the reputedly rough waters south of South America In other words it was a major short cut. it was much faster. and it was far safer.

Those are the basic benefits of the Panama Canal.

The u.s signed a century treaty with panama

HURRICANE FREDERIC - September 12, 1979

This coin can be fairly valuable based on its condition. A worn coin is valued at $2. A coin in average condition is valued at $10. A well preserved coin is valued at $25. A fully uncirculated coin is valued at $100.

The only disease that limits immigration is TB tuberculosis.

Assuming that the question applies to the US military removal of or the

capture of Manuel Noriega this political showboat of less than two weeks

dishoners millions to refer to it as a battle or a war. It was a brilliantly

executed but imoral and internationally illegal action. If this is about the

siezure of and creation of Panama in an effort to create the Panam Canal

then it can also be called a brilliantly executed but imoral and illegal act.

Both were imperialistic acts that a civilized society should not condone. In

each case it was presumed that the end justified the means. Commerce

was enhanced by the creation of the Panama Canal and a Drug Baron was

removed from society.

There were several. In the last 20 years of the United States' military presence in Panama they were: Fort Clayton, Fort Davis, Fort Sherman, Fort Amador, Fort Gullick, Fort Espinar, Fort Kobbe, Galeta Island Naval Station, Rodman Naval Station, Howard Air Force Base, Albrook Air Force Station, Coroza (East and West) and Quarry Heights (home of United States Southern Command). There were also housing areas for military families and Department of Defense civilians at Cocoli, Curundu, Coco Solo and Cristobal.

The Canal shortened the trip for US ships going from New York and the East Coast to California, which otherwise faced a long and difficult trip around Cape Horn, at the southern tip of South America. The US Navy was able to transit its ships quickly from the Atlantic to the Pacific and back.

The reason the Panama Canal was built is so ships can get to one place to the other with out having to go around South America. Down below South America waters are rough and ships have sunk!!

President Roosevelt needed a canal to move people, goods, and military ships from the Atlantic to the Pacific quickly however he was unable to start a canal project without the help of the British. President Roosevelt negotiated a treaty called the 'Hay-Pauncefote Treaty' which allowed the U.S. the right to build and control the entire canal. The canal also had to be free and open to all nations and neutral during wars. The treaty negotiated with Colombia for land to build and finish the canal with money.

carter Wrong. It was NOT carter!!! it was Theodore Roosevelt. Depending on WHO was acquiring it.

Roosevelt negotiated the rights for the US to control the Canal Zone.

Carter signed the treaty that returned control to Panama.

In Panama it is customary for the groom to give his new bride 13 gold coins during the ceremony and for the priest to bless the coins. The coins are a symbol of the groom's commitment to support his new bride.

During the wedding ceremony, the Priest blesses a plate of coins and gives them to the groom, who gives them to his bride as a wedding present after the ceremony. The coins represent good luck and prosperity.

At the wedding reception a bride doll, that is dressed like the bride is placed at the main table. The "bride doll" is covered with little charms, which are given to the guests.

Theodore Roosevelt worked with Colombia for the opportunity of building a canal in Panama.

Since the Panama Canal opened about 100 years ago in 1914, well over 800,000 ships have passed through it. Most of the ships are traveling from the east coast of the United States to the Far East.

Ronald Reagan could argue that Carter lost or gave away the Panama Canal because Carter did give away the Panama Canal. Carter felt that it wasn't on American land.

The US controlled the Panama Canal Zone directly from 1903 until the exclusive US-led government was abolished on October 1, 1979, as a term of the Torrijos–Carter Treaties of 1977. From 1979 until December 31, 1999٫ the canal itself was under joint U.S.–Panamanian control. It was on DECEMBER 31, 1999 that full control of the canal was restored to Panama.

the US started to work on the panama canal in 1903 and they finished in 1914.

panama was discovered in 1501 by Rodrigo de Bastidas and Vasco Nuñez de Balboa

Yes. Panama (capital: Panama City) is a Central American country while Bolivia (capital: La Paz) is a South American nation.
