Panama

Theodore Roosevelt

France started the construction of the Panama Canal but failed.

No, the Panama Canal is currently owned by Panama.

The US warship Nashville was sent to aid a Panamanian rebellion against Columbia.

it is important to the world trade because it connected the two oceans, pacific and Atlantic together. thus meaning the trade routes would be faster and quicker

A Frenchman, Ferdinand de Lesseps, was the 1st to try to dig a canal through the Isthmus of Panama. Disease, corruption, and a lack of equipment forced De Lesseps's company into bankruptcy in 1889. A revolt was being planned in Panama to gain independence from Colombia. The U.S. wanted the rebels to succeed but they did not help them. On November 6, 1903, Panama and the U.S. signed the Hay-Banau-Varilla Treaty, allowing the U.S. to build and operate the Canal forever. The canal officially opened on July 12, 1920.

During the building of the Panama Canal, workers had to go through attacks of mosquitoes and malaria.

Malaria and Yellow Fever killed most workers.

big heavy parts hit peoples head and they die or they were slaves and they were and they had a shortage on food or water and died They also had the chance to die if a mosquito bit them; they got yellow fever from being bit. You could either die or mabey get your health back.

It tremendously reduced the travel time between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans.

To reach the Pacific Ocean from the Atlantic Ocean and vice versa, saves a bunch of time, resources, human fatigue etc.

The Panama Canal connects the Pacific Ocean, and the Atlantic Ocean by way of the Caribbean Sea.

It was used to make an easier way for ships between the pacific and Atlantic ocean. so that they could deliver they're goods to other places... it was faster and only took two weeks to get across the pacific and Atlantic ocean... before the panama canal it took 1-2 months to cross it..

President Jimmy Carter, although the USA really created the nation of Panama to get the canal in the first place, so President Jimmy Carter was actually doing the right thing when he gave Panama the right to control something that was built on their land in the first place. Panama still allows the USA to have a say in how the canal is run.

it was built in 1869 exact date dont know ask someone else. Why did the Chinese built the Grand Canal? 2. In Brief, the ...

A ship wishing to go from the east coast of the US to the west coast would have to go around South America, making the journey a lot longer.

Panama wouldn't get the fees they now receive from each ship passing the Canal.

The distance between the above places is approximately equal to 1495 nautical miles. To convert miles to nautical miles, multiply the miles by 0.86. This is point to point straight distance. The actual distance will change according to the route.

This sounds like some one who is never satisfied. Your on a cruise ship going through the panama canal, who the HELL cares what direction your going, your in panama for god sakes live with it

The challenge of building the Panama Canal was tremendous. Perhaps the major problem facing the builders were the disease carrying mosquitos.

Although the Panama Canal was supposed to be a great benefit to all of society, including Panamanians, it came to be of only economic benefit to the United States. Panamanian businesses weren't permitted to take advantage of the economic opportunity by selling products or gaining employment in the Canal zone. The canal was of great benefit on the transportation between the west and east coasts of the United States.

The USA invaded Panama in December 1989 under President George bush under the code name OPERATION JUST CAUSE
