Panama To Canal or not to Canal

PANAMA CANAL

American Involvement Roosevelt negotiated for canal with Colombian diplomats. Colombian agent signed treaty that gave canal for $10 million Colombian senate outraged, and refused to ratify Roosevelt planned to organize and finance revolution Received help from French Co. (Banau-Varilla) Roosevelt prevented Columbia from suppressing rebellion US recognized Panama as a country New government agreed to US terms Canal finished in 1914

United States Motives & Justifications Needed easier passage over oceans Easier contact with Eastern World Improved Naval Mobility Simpler Trade Routes Justifications US was expanding “Mandate from Civilization” Colombia wronged US by prohibiting advancement Would help Panama’s economy - Justifications had no foundation - Motives were apparent

Reaction of Local Population Colombians were inconsolably and unimaginably outraged. Panama was happy with independence Panama content to grant US usage of canal

Final Results US has secure passage from Atlantic to Pacific Colombians and the rest of South America distrust the US Imperialism in US continues to grow Europe and the world frown on the US as the “Big Brother”

The United States: A Mafia Don US gave Panama independence for access to Panama Canal US offered to build canal and give it to Panama to access The US helped forcefully take Colombian land for personal gain

US Actions: Beneficial or Detrimental? Beneficial to US - Improved Naval Mobility - Open Route to Trade with East - Sailing around South America not necessary Detrimental - Portrayed US in a negative way - “Big Brother” Imperialism evident - Relations with South America strained - Colombian power weakened
