Panama was a part of Colombia but was fighting for independence from 1899 to 1902. Colombia rejected a deal with the US to build the canal, so the US backed Panama's claim of independence in return for permanent ownership of a strip of land 50 miles long and 10 miles wide through which they could build and operate the canal. It was completed 11 years later.
