Do you think the Panama Canal was worth the cost in terms of money spent and lives lost

History
1 answer:
lubasha [3.4K]3 years ago
5 0
Even though the Panama Canal is considered to be one of the most prominent engineering marvels of the world, it is literally built on many losses. During building the Canal more than 25,000 people died, mostly because of disease. Over 20,000 people died when the French set a hope to build the canal, and  5,000 died when the Americans did it successfully. It is a really huge sacrifice.

Why was the great wall of china considered a zone of transition
jeyben [28]

The Great Wall is a fortificated East-to-West line which historically has delimited the Chinese Northern border. Its primary purpouse was to defend the Chinese territory against the invasions and quick raids organized by the nomadic people from the Eurasian Steppe lands, located more to the North.

But rather than as a fixed border, it should be regarded as a transition zone which establishes a distinction between two different lifestyles, even nowadays: the farmer regions in the South with sedentary ways of life and the pasture lands in the North, where its inhabitants have nomadic lifestyles and work mainly in animal husbandry activities.
