Panama Canal

Think, Pair, Share (1) What do you know about the Panama

Canal? Try to remember from your previous

history classes and discuss it with your partner.

Why a Canal? The idea of a canal

connecting the Atlantic and the Pacific Ocean had been discussed for many years by the U.S.

Such a canal would cut travel time for U.S. military and commercial ships.

In other words, IT WAS GOOD FOR BUSINESS

Panama The narrow strip of

land in Panama was a logical place to build it.

However, at this time Colombia owned the land and refused to sell it to the U.S.

The U.S., led by President Theodore Roosevelt, was determined to get the land.

Think, Pair, Share (2)

What do you think the U.S. is going to do to get the land to build the Panama Canal?

U.S. Supported Rebellion The U.S. helped

organize a Panamanian rebellion against Colombia.

Theodore Roosevelt sent eleven U.S. warships to Panama

On November 3, 1903, Panama declared its independence from Colombia.

Deal to Build Canal 15 days after winning

their independence, Panama signed a deal allowing the U.S. to build the canal.

43,000 workers were employed to build the canal. More than 5,600 workers

died from accidents and disease.

The canal officially opened for business on August 15, 1914.

Think, Pair, Share (3) Do you think relations between the

U.S. and Latin America were damaged because the U.S. supported the rebellion against Colombia?
