3rd of November, Independence from Colombia!

Weekend celebrations of Memorial Day on 2 November and Independence from Colombia. After the Spanish conquest of Colombia in the fourteenth century, Spain established colonies in Panama, which became part of Colombia. In 1903, Panamanians, supported by the United States which wanted to build a canal across the country, revolted and declared Panama independent of Colombia.
