How did US get rights to build panama canal?

A good question. The country of Panama had been part of the nation of Colombia. The United States brought great pressure to bear on Colombia to grant independence to Panama, at the same time negotiating with Panamanian entities for rights to build the canal. Given these factors, it's reasonable to say that Panama granted the US a long-term lease to build, operate, maintain and control the Panama Canal as a quid pro quo for its independence.


Who subtly encouraged panama's independence assuming the US obtain the lease it needed to construct the panama canal?

The United States, particularly under President Theodore Roosevelt, subtly encouraged Panama's independence from Colombia in 1903 to facilitate the construction of the Panama Canal. The U.S. government supported a revolution in Panama, believing that an independent Panama would be more amenable to granting the necessary lease for the canal. After Panama declared independence, the U.S. quickly recognized the new government and secured the Hay-Bunau-Varilla Treaty, which granted the U.S. control over the canal zone.
