1 CHAPTER 4, SECTION 3 LATIN AMERICA PANAMA

2 ESSENTIAL QUESTION How do people and the environment impact each other?

3 KEY TERMS Panama Canal-shipping canal across the Isthmus of Panama, linking the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific Ocean Lock-a section of waterway in which ships are raised or lowered by adjusting the water level Canal Zone-a 10-mile strip of land along the Panama Canal, once governed by the United States Ecotourism-travel to unspoiled areas in order to learn about the environment

4 Why Build a Canal? It is a shortcut through the Western Hemisphere, shortening the trip from the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific Ocean by 7,800 miles The conquistador Vasco Nuñez de Balboa suggested building a road across the isthmus, so they built a 7 foot wide stone road used to carry treasure across the isthmus

5 Why Build a Canal? 300 years later the California Gold Rush prompted people to find quicker ways a railroad was built by an American company In 1881, a French company was given the rights to build a canal by Colombia (Panama was part of Colombia at the time) The French encountered many problems mudslides, mountains, dense forest and tropical diseases

6 Why Build a Canal? After several years, the French company went bankrupt and digging stopped In 1902, the U.S. government bought the French company s equipment and began negotiating with Colombia for the rights Colombia refused the U.S. request Many Panamanians wanted the canal and wanted independence from Colombia

7 Why Build a Canal? President Theodore Roosevelt helped Panama revolt against Colombia Within 2 weeks of declaring its independence, Panama gave the canal rights to the United States

8 Building the Canal: A Heroic Effort Work on the canal was slow, but the biggest problem was disease (just like with the French) It took some time, but doctors and scientists discovered that malaria and yellow fever (the 2 worst diseases) were carried by mosquitos It took more than a year but the mosquito problem was taken care of burned sulfur in every house, covered water vessels, filled in swamps with dirt After 8 years and 70,000 workers, the canal was completed

9 Panama and Its Canal When the U.S. gained rights to build the canal, they also had the right to control it forever The U.S. also controlled the Canal Zone land on either side of the canal, the ports, port cities and the railroad The U.S. built 14 military bases in the Canal Zone Many Panamanians felt the U.S. had too much power

10 Panama and Its Canal In 1977, President Carter gave Panama more control over the canal In 1999, Panama was given full control over the canal Because of the canal, Panama is a crossroad for international trade Ships pay a toll to Panama based on their weight

11 Panama and Its Canal The canal has encouraged other industries such as manufacturing, communications and ecotourism Panama s government has invested millions of dollars encouraging ecotourism in its rain forests
