Answer:

Explanation:

The United States was motivated to build the Panama Canal to shorten ship routes. The only way to get from California to, let’s say, Brazil, was to go all around South America and waste so much time getting there. So as a result, The United States decided to build a canal for boats and ships to pass through in Central America to shorten the journey, and therefore getting goods faster and easier.

Hope this helps (:

Following the failure of a French construction team in the 1880s, the United States commenced building a canal across a 50-mile stretch of the Panama isthmus in 1904. The project was helped by the elimination of disease-carrying mosquitoes, while chief engineer John Stevens devised innovative techniques and spurred the crucial redesign from a sea-level to a lock canal. His successor, Lt. Col. George Washington Goethals, stepped up excavation efforts of a stubborn mountain range and oversaw the building of the dams and locks. Opened in 1914, oversight of the world-famous Panama Canal was transferred from the U.S. to Panama in 1999.
