In this episode, we explore the dramatic history of the Panama Canal, a marvel of modern engineering and a critical link between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. Despite Panama's formal independence, the canal remained under complete U.S. control until the end of the 20th century, making Panama essentially a U.S. colony. We uncover how economic moguls seized control, the struggles Panama faced for sovereignty, and the strategic maneuvers that led to U.S. dominance. From the initial construction challenges to the eventual transfer of control back to Panama, we delve into every aspect of this historical saga.
