Panama Canal

The Panama Canal does not affect panama.

they made canals because people wanted to cross rivers without drowning and not die. so they made them and it was another way to fish in the deeper areas to get more food. this is one of the ways people survived in times b4

the outbreak of malaria caused the French to quit building. the united states then took over and got rid of the malaria by getting rid of the mosquitoes. this they did by removing all standing water.

The United States spent $350 million dollars to build the Panama Canal. Panama invested $10 million of their own money on this project. The US also made a payment to Colombia, from which Panama broke away from.

Theodore Roosevelt got Panama by supporting a revolution against Colombia. Colombia didn't want to give us Panama, and Roosevelt did not take no for an answer. He decided to take it. He set the U.S Navy to surround Colombia for support of a revolution that only lasted a couple hours. Hope I Helped;p

The Panamanian flag is made of 4 rectangles. The top two are white and red. The white rectangle has a blue 5 pointed star. The bottom two are blue and white. That white rectangle has a red five pointed star.

The Panama Canal crosses the country of Panama.

Yes, due to its design two ships can go in either direction at the same time.

It's really cool! Basically, most of it is too narrow and shallow for a ship to go through, so it's got chambers all along it that end up making a sort of staircase. As the ship goes along, water will fill up the chamber it's in until it is high enough to enter the next chamber. This process takes a while (8-10 hours to get across 50 miles), but it's still pretty awesome.

It's too narrow for the largest ships now, but the first statement is otherwise wrong. The chambers you describe have a proper name: "locks", and although as you say a 'sort of staircase', they do not work quite as you've described them. They are filled from rivers, and enable the canal to climb over the ridge forming the bulk of the isthmus. (The original attempt to keep the canal at sea-level failed as the ridge is too high.)

The French were the first to try and build a canal across South America, starting in 1882. Before they could start work, they needed to secure a concession from the Columbian government, which controlled Panama at that time. However, their project failed, thousands of workers died (mainly from disease,) and the company went bankrupt six years later, in 1888. A Frenchman named Philippe Bunau-Varilla managed to keep the effort from collapsing entirely, and looked for another party to take up the concession. The United States, which was also interested in building a canal, negotiated to buy the concession from the French. However, Columbia refused the sale.

Meanwhile, nationalism was stirring in Panama. An agreement was made with the US government that if the US would help Panama gain their independence, they would allow the canal to be built. In 1903, Panama became its own country, and the United States immediately recognized the new government. Columbia sent troops to reclaim Panama, but US warships prevented them from landing.

After the United States helped Panama win its independence, a treaty was immediately negotiated to allow the US to build a canal. The treaty granted considerably more to the US then the failed agreement with Columbia had, including rights to use military within Panama and US control of the Canal Zone in perpetuity. In essence, the Canal Zone would be part of the US in all but name. However, the man who signed for the Panamanians, the Frenchman Bunau-Varilla, was not part of the official delegation from the new Panamanian government, and some Panamanians felt that the rights granted to the US in the treaty were excessive.

they made a $300 million bridge to unit the two vast oceans which officially opened in 1914.

Steam shovels, rock drills, and dynamite were used to excavate the land for the building of the Panama Canal. The Panamanian railroad ran near the excavation site and was used to haul materials.

Each passage through the canal requires 52 million gallons of freshwater to float the ship through locks.

Powerful politicians wanted to build the canal elsewhere in Central America, in a more politically stable country, but TR saw that building it in Panama would save hundreds of millions of dollars. Panama was, at the time, a province of Colombia, that was dissatisfied with how they were being ruled from Bogota. With a degree of TR's assistance, the Panamanians rebelled and allowed the canal to be built. The canal was an enormous breakthrough for world trade and was of strategic importance.

For the same reason "Operation Iraqi Freedom" was conducted in 2003; to remove Saddam Hussian from power in Iraq.

"Operation Just Cause", conducted in 1989, removed General Manual Noriega from power in Panama.

The common theme is they both stopped following orders and started acting independent of US policy, prior to which and despite of their respective crimes they were regional Allies.

The Panama Canal is located in the country of Panama. The US took control of the canal zone and built the canal. The Panamanians want control of the canal so that they can realize the revenue.
