Many ships are registered in Panama, even though they are owned by individuals or companies in another country (most commonly Japan and Greece) under a system called 'flag of convenience'. Registering a ship in Panama means that the ship is governed by the maritime rules of Panama rather than the ship owner's country. Ship owners do this because Panama has low taxes and fewer labour and safety regulations than most other countries. So ship owners can make their staff work longer hours in less safe environments, and therefore maximise their profits. Other countries, including Liberia, Cyprus and the Bahamas also offer flags of convenience, but Panama has the most ships registered under the scheme.

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.

No, its one of the most solid democracies in the world. With independent elections every 4 years.

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

In Panama, Christmas Eve is on December 24th, and Christmas Day is on December 25th.

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.

Panama's currency is tied to the U.S. dollar 1-to-1, so a Panamanian cent is worth the same as a U.S. cent.

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.
