Answer: When the United States decided to build a canal across Central America, Panama was a part of Colombia.
Explanation: During Theodore Roosevelt's second term,<u> the United States decided that they needed to build a canal across Central America in order for the American ships to travel more quickly</u>. In that time,<u> Panama was a part of Colombia</u>; therefore, the United States had to negotiate with Colombia in order to get permission to build the canal. When the Senate of Colombia denied this permission, the United States sent warships to Panama and convinced people from Panama to rebel against Colombia and fight for their independence. In 1903,<u> Panama declared its independence, which benefited the United States since Panamanians finally allowed the U.S. to build the Panama Canal</u>. The Panama Canal connects the Atlantic Ocean with the Pacific Ocean and it cuts across the Isthmus of Panama.
