The Second Panama Canal was built by the United States in the early 20th century, specifically from 1904 to 1914. The project was initiated after a failed attempt by the French under Ferdinand de Lesseps in the 1880s. The U.S. took over the construction, motivated by strategic and economic interests, and successfully completed the canal, which opened on August 15, 1914. The canal significantly shortened maritime travel between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans.
