Stories from the United States' relationship with the Panama Canal, in celebration of its centenary
Due to the complex political situation in Panama in the year 1902, the Government of the U.S., presided over by President Theodore Roosevelt, was inclined to build the Interoceanic canal in Nicaragua.
