It was built during the Old Kingdom.
The Spanish-American War brung a need for a shorter route between the Pacific and Atlantic oceans.
To make this a bit simpler, to get to like california in America, or parts of Africa back then, you had to sail ALL THE WAY AROUND South America which by boat takes around 9 months.
Imagine your aunt Beckie sending you a birthday present from Africa in 1905
and it not getting there till 9 MONTHS LATER
A canal build across Central America would make global shipping much faster and cheaper. It also allowed to move from ocean to ocean during war.
Basically they didn’t want to, or have time, to sail 9 months around South America every time they needed to get to the other ocean during the war, so they dug a big canal for boats to sail through as a shortcut.
I hope this helps!
and it not

- Nationalism ( many countries have this trait). Usually the more you have the more of a world power you can become.

- During World War 2 the USA had officially become a world power and this is because they fought back and proved they could defend the weak who were also being attacked.
