Answer:

The main reason why the Americans wanted the Panama Canal built was to cut travel time from the Atlantic to the Pacific Oceans.

Explanation:

The Panama Canal was inaugurated in 1914. Its construction had been started by the French, and when they abandoned the project, the Americans took it in 1903.

The intention of Theodore Roosevelt's government was to shorten travel time and distances between the two coasts of the United States, while creating a fast and accessible connection between both oceans, which would allow America to compete more easily in trade international, also giving a greater capacity to react to the Navy in case of a war.

Until that moment, the sea route that connected both oceans was around the Strait of Magellan, with which the American ships had to surround all South America to get from one ocean to the other.

In his book "Looking Backward", Bellamy tells the story of Julain West, a young American who lived in Boston towards the end of the 19th century (1887). During this period, industrialization was affecting all economic activities, as developments made manufacturing sites more productive and there was also a growing need for a labor force, as the growth of industry was exponential. Throughout all of this process, owners of these businesses were getting very rich.

One night, Wells falls asleep and wakes up 113 years later. He sees Boston as a city who suffered a dramatic change. Technological developments could be seen everywhere. He later learned that the country had adopted a socialist model which was fully executed. Enterprises were run and organized by a central office and labor was distributed by an organization called "The industrial army", who effectively assigned labor resources among the industries.

The book had great reception. Bellamy was praised by many unions, including the American Federation of Labor and The Knights of Labor, which saw the book as a reference on how industrial matters should be managed in the country.
