3 nov 1903 anni - The Panamian independence

Descrizione:

Panama became independent from Colombia with help from the United States.

How the U.S. Helped:
The U.S. wanted to build a canal across Panama to connect the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans.
The U.S. supported Panama’s independence by helping them fight against Colombia.
After Panama became independent, the U.S. quickly made a deal to build the canal.

Panama's independence allowed the U.S. to build the Panama Canal, which made it faster for ships to travel between the two oceans, helping global trade.
