What was the reason for the panama canal

History
1 answer:
Greeley [361]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

The Panama Canal's idea was first born from France, in the hope of creating a trade route that was faster in connecting the West (specifically Europe) to the East (China & Japan specifically). However, due to lack of funds, loss of equipment and lives of workers to diseases, the French sold their rights to creating the canal to the United States, who carried out and completed the task of building the Canal. The United States' reason in completing the Canal was to cut down the time it took to sail her Eastern Navy to the West and vice versa, allowing for the sailing to go from months to weeks. This proved itself in the Spanish-American War, in which both navies were able to be called upon to help with invasions on both sides of the world.

The United States also used the Panama Canal for commercial usage, allowing tolls on ships to pass through the area. They relinquished their hold completely to Panama in 1999.

Which of these statements would Winston Churchill most likely agree with?
pshichka [43]

The correct answer is Victory must be attained at all costs.

Churchill was arrested and sent to a prisoner-of-war camp in Pretoria, where he fled, walking 500km and insisted on staying in Africa, participating in several battles. This story made him a national hero when he returned in 1900.

He entered parliament in the same year, supported by the conservative party.

He married Clementine, and together they had 5 children.

In 1911, he took over as First Lord of the Admiralty, a highly prestigious position in the British Navy and in this post, during the First World War he was responsible for the disastrous Gallipoli and Dardanelles campaign. Received on the peninsula by well-prepared Ottomans, the offensive resulted in the death of 50,000 British and French. Churchill was fired from his position at the Admiralty.

After the Russian Communist Revolution, Churchill was an active voice against the expansion of communism in Europe.

He lived a political decline in the 1920s and 1930s, experiencing relative political isolation, dedicating himself to reading and writing. Winston is the only British prime minister to receive a Nobel Prize for literature.

From 1933, during Hitler's rise to Germany, Churchill raised his voice against what he considered a serious threat.

He was constantly going public, suggesting English rearmament and preparation for an inevitable conflict. He criticized the government for its passivity in the face of Hitler's demands.

In 1939, England declared war on Germany after the Nazis invaded Poland. At the same moment Churchill takes over the Admiralty again, in the same position he had been years before.

In 1940, in the middle of a German invasion of France, Winston Churchill was appointed Prime Minister. His inaugural speech was simple: "I have nothing to offer, other than blood, suffering, tears and sweat."
