The US decided to try to build a canal across Panama instead of Nicaragua because?
The U.S. decided to build a canal across Panama instead of Nicaragua primarily due to the geographical advantages of the Panama route, which offered a shorter and more direct path for maritime traffic. Additionally, political instability and concerns about volcanic activity in Nicaragua made the Panama option more appealing. The U.S. also sought to secure control over the canal zone, which was facilitated by its involvement in Panama's independence from Colombia in 1903. This strategic choice ultimately aimed to enhance trade and military mobility between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans.
