Question

What did roosevelt do to allow the us to build a canal in panama?

Answer 1

Answer:

Encouraged Panama to become independent from Colombia

Explanation:

The separation of Panama from Colombia was a fact occurred on November 3, 1903, after the War of a Thousand Days, and that triggered the proclamation of the Republic of Panama.

The Isthmus of Panama was an integral part of all forms of political and territorial organization that the Republic of Colombia had from 1831 to 1903, with around seventeen secession attempts and four separations consummated during the nineteenth century.

For Panamanian historiography, the proclamation of the Republic of Panama was the result of a nationalist and autonomist process that was built since the end of the 18th century, and that ended with the separation of Panama and Colombia. On the other hand, for Colombian historiography, the secession of Panama constitutes an attack on the politico-territorial integrity of Colombia, which was devised by the United States in association with the Isthmian oligarchy of the time.
