Omg Panama Canal was on my vocab list for APUSH and I just did it yesterday, this was my definition omg
"The man made ship canal that connects the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific Ocean and also cuts across the Isthmus of Panama. The French began the building process but were unable to continue due to difficulties, so the Americans, under the leadership of President Theodore Roosevelt, took control of the canal. In 1904 the US bought the French equipment and excavations. The canal was completed in 1914."
