Let’s discuss a little bit about the history of Panama Canal. In the year 1819, Panama was originally part of the federation and country of Colombia but when Colombia rejected the United States’ plans to build a canal across Isthmus of Panama, the United States supported a revolution that led to the independence of Panama in the year 1903. But in time, the new Panamanian government has authorized French businessman in the name of Philippe Bunau-Varilla to negotiate a treaty with the United States. Then after the negotiation the plan was approved and the Hay-Bunau-Varilla treaty has allowed the U.S. to build the Panama Canal. They also provided a perpetual control of zone five-miles wide on either side of the canal. The Panama Canal was intended to be built by the French in 1880s but then the plan was implemented in the year 1904 to 1914, it took them ten years before the canal was successfully built.
