[@kyrlchristianboni5263]

to be fair, suez was a cake walk.

[@samrevlej9331]

I believe another difference was that Suez was located between the Red Sea and the Mediterranean, where there was no tide, so it was easier handling water levels. The Panama Canal connected two oceans with strong currents, so that was another challenge. Also, contrary to Panama, Egypt was mostly flat land, with old canals dating back to pharaonic times serving as guidelines. Napoleon Bonaparte, during the Egyptian Campaign, had begun to make plans for a canal, but had been chased out of Egypt before he could put them in place.

[@gabrielsoto2216]

As a Panamanian student, who is currently enrolled in college history about Panama and US relationship, this video is awesome but lacks a lot of history and background facts. Although Panama citizens (or Nueva Granada) wanted to separate from Colombia, Colombia had an agreement with the french. U.S negotiated with Colombia first offering them around 10 million dollars for the Nueva Granda (Panamá land) specifically access to the CZ (Canal Zone). There are several treaties that the US had with Colombia that involved the isthmus, such as: the Mallarino Bidlack treaty. So as Colombia saw that money as not enough, US talked with some panamenian leaders (not elected, just bunch of guys who had political advantage) so they can separate with Colombia by using the US army. At the end, we separated with Colombia, we became a Republic and 1 week later the US practically made us sign a treaty as soon as possible: the Hay Bunau Varilla Treaty. The treaty that was not signed by no panamenian. This treaty gave the US for lifetime, total access and jurisdiction over the Canal Zone . The treaty was sent to the provisional leaders in Panama (bunch of guys I talked earlier about) do they could review it. The treaty was not even translated and was signed in a ship. There is a lot of history behind this, pretty interesting one! Awesome video, will re send it

[@Sanzzzzzzzzz]

Awesome, thanks for the information, i was student too, and i was researching about the Panama history aswell, this is helping me

[@susmitanayak2101]

Thanks buddy for sharing.

[@AmusicfanA]

As a Panamanian and a history fanatic I value so much and am grateful of this type of content. It is such a good summary for such an intense story. But for those interested, I have to admit that there is so much behind the intervention of the USA in the canal construction of what was mentioned here and I want to share a little bit of interesting facts. First of all, there is a character missing in this video, which was such an important character in the story: Monsieur Bunau - Varilla, a French man who acted as the 'intermediary' (if I could say that) between the Panamanian separatists and the USA government. He kinda orquestrated the whole thing and took it into his hands to make the negotiation happen. He made the campaign to convince the us government not to construct the canal in Nicaragua. And in the meanwhile of doing so -he negotiated the terms and conditions of the transfer of the construction of the canal and the separation of Panama to Colombia (without a Panamanian in the table) and concluding with the famous treaty: Hay-BunauVarilla. Nowadays we famously ask ourselves, was he a villain or a hero in our countries's history. Because he did get us the canal and did help us separate from Colombia, but at what cost? Well, the treaty did gave full control of the Canal and a territory to each side of the canal to the USA (for.. forever). And for many years, no Panamanian was allowed to enter the "Canal Zone" which was sovereign US territory. This created internal conflict for many years.. no doubt. But that's another story. I highly recommend to look it up!! Its an amazing piece of universal history.

[@danielsac6316]

Not defending Monsieur Bunau (whom sadly I didn't know of), I can tell you as a Colombian that despite all the conflict, by separating from Bogotá Panamá saved itself from great violence and poverty. And believe me, I'm Colombian and here we still feel Panamá's independence as a loss. Sin defender a Monsieur Bunau (de quien tristemente no sabía) puedo decirte como colombiano que a pesar de todo el conflicto, separándose de Bogotá Panamá se salvó de gran violencia y pobreza. Y créeme, soy colombiano y aquí aún sentimos la Independencia de Panamá como una pérdida.

I like your comment, but as a Colombian I can't help but tell you: COLOMBIA, not Columbia. COLOMBIA, not Columbia. COLOMBIA, not Columbia. Sorry, I tried not to do it, but it's impossible. It's not “Columbia” like in “British Columbia” or “District of Columbia”, doesn't matter that it comes from the Latin word “columba, -ae, f.” (from Columbus, whose real, Italian surname was indeed “Colombo”), it's Colombia, with an “o”. 🇨🇴

[@joshuaidugboe214]

22 years ago was 1999

[@erickalena]

I loved this video! I'm Panamanian and everything was well-covered except one thing: The US didn't go to Panamanians directly. The leaders of the Panamanian separatist movement were in New York looking for the government's support with the separation movement. However, instead of striking a deal with them, the U.S. signed a treaty with one of the main investors of the French Canal project, Phillip Buneau-Varilla. Since he only cared about not going bankrupt and there was no representation of Panama's interests in the negotiation, he signed a treaty that gave Panama the short end of the stick and whose articles would lead to problems, confrontations and even deaths of nationals until the 60's and 70's when the Torrijos-Carter treaty was signed in which the US agreed to give back the Canal in 1999.
