4 maio 1904 ano - Panama Canal Started

Descrição:

Construction of the Panama Canal began in 1904, following the United States' acquisition of the Canal Zone, which was facilitated by the support of the Panamanian revolt against Colombia and the subsequent Hay-Bunau-Varilla Treaty. The massive engineering project, completed in 1914, connected the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, dramatically reducing the maritime journey between the east and west coasts of the U.S. and bolstering international trade routes.
