14. Section 3-9 Japan’s rising power worried Russia. Russia forced Japan to give back the part of Manchuria to China and later made China lease the territory to Russia. Leasing a territory meant it would still belong to China but a foreign power would have control. American Diplomacy in Asia (cont.)

18. FYI 3-1a The Boxers, also known as the Righteous and Harmonious Fists, were members of a secret society opposed to foreign influence in China. The “last straw” before the rebellion broke out may have been a reaction to a made up story from a Denver, Colorado newspaper that reported that China had contracted an American company to demolish the Great Wall of China as a demonstration of their commitment to open up to world trade. The story made its way to the east coast and then to China, and once the Boxers got hold of it they felt it was an insult for a Western firm to be hired to destroy something that represented the past glory of China.

25. Section 3-16 (pages 412–413) A Growing Presence in the Caribbean Click the mouse button or press the Space Bar to display the information. A French company that had begun to build a canal through Panama offered to sell its rights and property in Panama to the United States.

26. FYI 3-1a The inspiration for the French to want to build the Panama Canal was based largely on the success that they had with the construction of the Suez Canal in Egypt. This cut down the European route to the Far East (India, China and Japan).

27. Section 3-16 (pages 412–413) A Growing Presence in the Caribbean Click the mouse button or press the Space Bar to display the information. The biggest failure for the French was not the terrain, but disease. Yellow Fever and Malaria killed more than 20,000 French workers. American doctors were able to wipe out Yellow Fever and contain Malaria and as a result “only” 5600 Americans died during the ten year project.

28. Section 3-17 In 1903 Panama was still a part of Colombia, which refused John Hay’s offer to purchase the land and gain rights to build the canal.

32. CC 3-1 Science Constructing the Panama Canal involved three main engineering projects. First, the workers had to excavate the Gaillard Cut, which was 300 feet (91 meters) wide across the isthmus.

33. CC 3-1 Science Next, they had to build a dam across the Chagres River to create an artificial lake.

34. CC 3-1 Science The hardest job was digging the Gaillard Cut, because the hill through which the cut runs consists of soft volcanic material. When workers dug a hole, more rock and earth would slide into the space or push up from below.

35. You Don’t Say 3-2b Regulating the Canal Water flows in an out of the locks by gravity, so no pumps are needed. Locks are used to handle changes in elevation along the course of the canal and in tide level near the seacoast. Cut is an engineering term for an artificially created passageway or channel.

36. FYI 3-1a When a ship passes through the Panama Canal going on a westward journey from the Atlantic to the Pacific they actually travel southEAST through Panama. A bit of TRIVIA

37. FYI 3-1a In 1906 President Roosevelt went to the Panama Canal to visit the project. It was the first time in our nation’s history that a sitting President had left the United States. More than a “photo-op”

42. Section 3-20 The new president of the United States, William Howard Taft, continued Roosevelt’s policies.

43. FYI 3-3c Many U.S. legislators opposed Roosevelt’s corollary, claiming that his actions were unconstitutional because it was the Senate’s right to make such decisions. Most Americans approved of the corollary, however, so the Senate agreed in 1907 to a treaty that maintained United States control of Dominican customs.
