Correct answer: Colombia had raised the price for the rights to build the Panama Canal.

Details:

As reported by the Office of the Historian of the United States:  "President Theodore Roosevelt oversaw the realization of a long-term United States goal—a trans-isthmian canal" across the Isthmus of Panama.  With Teddy Roosevelt in the White House, in 1902 the US Senate approved the building of a canal through Panama.  Roosevelt's Secretary of State then went to work to arrange a treaty with Colombia (then in control of the Panama region).  When Colombia ended up rejecting the US's offer because they thought the financial offer too low, President Roosevelt sent US naval warships to support the cause of Panama's independence from Colombia.  After Panama achieved independence (with US support) in 1903, the new country, the Republic of Panama, agreed to treaty terms with the US for the building of the canal.  The Panama Canal was completed in 1914.

What was a benefit of greece having so many small island
Alex777 [14]
The benefit of Greece having so many small islands was that if someone were to attack the mainland the islands would be safe until they were also target. The same could be said about the mainland... if the islands were targeted or destroyed the mainland would remain intact. A negative thing would be if you had news on a war or if you were being attacked they would not hear right away more like 1 hour to a day depending the relationship and closeness of the island. I REALLY hope this helps. Please make me brainliest

Tpy6a [65]
The USA is a presidential system, with the apex of power in a President elected indirectly through an Electoral College, whereas the UK is a parliamentary system, with the Prime Minister holding office and power so long as he or she commands a majority of votes in the House of Commons.
