- My time traveling to Panama and my overall thoughts about the country.

- What Panama is globally known for

Because before the canalIf Spain wanted get cargo to Japan they would have to go under South America to its destination

But at the time Panama was still part of the republic of Colombia

And in 1904 Panama gave the US control of a 10 mile pieces of land where they could start building the canal

And they wouldn’t allow anyone to build on the land

So the US helped Panama gain its independence in 1903
