Panama has experienced significant historical events, including its independence from Spain in 1821 and later from Colombia in 1903, which was facilitated by U.S. support in exchange for control over the Panama Canal. The construction of the Panama Canal, completed in 1914, was a monumental engineering feat that transformed global trade. Additionally, Panama faced political turmoil, including military rule under Manuel Noriega in the 1980s, leading to U.S. military intervention in 1989 to restore democratic governance. More recently, Panama has been noted for its economic growth and development as a key financial and logistics hub in Central America.
