Panama canalhideslide
Theodore Roosevelt had the ambition to build a canal through Panama to connect the Atlantic and Pacific oceans after the success of the Spanish-American War boosted American confidence. Construction began in 1904 after Panama agreed to let the U.S. dig the canal in exchange for money. Building the Panama Canal was an immense project that took 10 years and required dams, explosives to clear difficult areas, and modern equipment to construct the 51 mile canal. It faced many challenges like mosquitoes spreading disease, but was completed in 1914.

Tripolitn War Presentation
The Tripolitan War was fought between the United States and the Barbary States of North Africa over tribute demands and attacks on American ships. Key events included an American ship exploding itself while loaded with explosives in Tripoli harbor, the capture of the USS Philadelphia after it ran aground, and a decisive overland attack by U.S. Marines and Arab mercenaries that captured the city of Derne, Libya, marking the first time the U.S. flag was raised in victory on foreign soil. This turning point in 1805 helped end the war in favor of the United States.
Yorktown
The Battle of Yorktown occurred in October 1781 and marked a major turning point in the American Revolutionary War. General Cornwallis encamped his British army at Yorktown, Virginia in August hoping to use the port as a supply base. However, French naval forces arrived and trapped the British army. In October, coordinated attacks by American and French ground forces bombarded the British positions. Facing defeat and no possibility of reinforcement or evacuation, Cornwallis surrendered his entire army to General Washington, effectively ending major fighting in the American Revolution.

War of 1812_causes
The document summarizes some of the major causes of the War of 1812 between the United States and Britain. Key events included Britain's impressment of American sailors and seizure of American ships, which angered Americans and contributed to a call for war by War Hawks led by Henry Clay. Britain's arming of Native Americans, including Tecumseh's Confederacy led by Tecumseh and The Prophet, also increased tensions by threatening American settlers on the frontier. The 1811 Battle of Tippecanoe between American forces and Tecumseh's Confederacy further escalated tensions leading up to the War of 1812 declaration.
Battle of Yorktown
1) The Battle of Yorktown in Virginia in 1781 marked the end of the Revolutionary War.
2) The French navy prevented British reinforcements from reaching General Cornwallis by sea, trapping the British army at Yorktown.
3) After weeks under siege by American and French forces, Cornwallis surrendered, effectively ending the war.
The Panama Canal
The United States needed to connect the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans after gaining territory in the Philippines and Guam from the Spanish-American War. Building a canal through the isthmus of Panama was the easiest route, but Colombia controlled the area. The U.S. offered Colombia money to build the canal, but Colombia declined. A revolution then occurred in Panama, and the U.S. recognized the new nation of Panama. Panama then signed a treaty granting the U.S. control over the canal zone to build the canal, which opened in 1914.
Chapter 12 sec 3
Theodore Roosevelt became president after McKinley's assassination in 1901. As a very energetic president, he wanted to increase American power globally and believed the US had a duty to influence "less civilized" regions. Roosevelt supported spheres of influence and an Open Door Policy in China. He also believed in maintaining a strong global military presence and pursuing the construction of a Panama Canal to benefit American power, which the US facilitated by supporting a Panamanian revolt against Colombia.
Tripolitan War Power Point
The Tripolitan War took place from 1801 to 1805 between the United States and the Barbary States of North Africa, including Tripoli, over pirate attacks on American ships in the Mediterranean Sea. Congress had agreed to pay tribute to the Barbary States but the Jefferson administration stopped payments. This led to an informal declaration of war by the Barbary States against the United States. The US sent ships to blockade Tripoli's port and won a decisive victory on land at Derna, establishing the US as a threat and forcing Tripoli to make peace, though it lasted only a few years.

Barbary Wars
The document summarizes the Barbary Wars that occurred between the United States and the Barbary States of North Africa in the early 19th century. The Barbary pirates demanded tribute from American merchant vessels sailing in the Mediterranean Sea, which led the US to launch naval attacks against the pirate cities to gain concessions for free passage. The US victories over the Barbary States ended over 150 years of piracy and blackmail in the Mediterranean.
T Roosevelt's America
This document discusses Roosevelt's foreign policy in the early 1900s, particularly regarding the Panama Canal. It describes how the ideal location for a canal was the Isthmus of Panama, but it was part of Colombia. France had previously tried and failed to build a canal there. The US eventually took over the project, but first helped instigate a Panamanian revolution to gain independence from Colombia so the US could negotiate a treaty directly with Panama to build the canal. The canal construction began in 1904 and was finished ahead of schedule and under budget in 1914, though an estimated 27,000 lives were lost building it. The canal was important for Roosevelt's "big stick" foreign policy of projecting American power. It remained a US territory
Battle of the Plains of Abraham
The Battle of the Plains of Abraham was a pivotal battle in September 1759 that led to Britain gaining control of Canada. France and Britain were adversaries competing for territory and influence in North America. At the Plains of Abraham outside Quebec City, British General James Wolfe defeated French General Montcalm, capturing the important fortress of Quebec. Both Wolfe and Montcalm died from injuries sustained in the battle. The British victory resulted in France losing its North American colonies to Britain in the Treaty of Paris, marking a significant shift in colonial power in North America.

These include the fall of the Berlin Wall which ended the Cold War, the Tet Offensive which turned public opinion against the Vietnam War, Black Tuesday which sparked the Great Depression, MLK's iconic "I Have a Dream" speech, the Wright brothers' first controlled flight, the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki ending WWII, D-Day which turned the tide in Europe, Roosevelt's New Deal which helped the US recover from the Depression, the Pearl Harbor attack which brought the US into WWII, and the 9/11 terrorist attacks which triggered the War on Terror.
Battle of yorktown
The Battle of Yorktown took place from September 28 to October 19, 1781 in Yorktown, Virginia. It resulted in a decisive victory by American forces led by General George Washington and French forces led by Comte de Rochambeau and Comte de Grasse over a British army commanded by Lord Charles Cornwallis. After over two weeks of bombardment, Cornwallis surrendered his entire army on October 19th, effectively ending major combat in the American Revolutionary War.
Panama
Prior to 1903, Panama was part of Gran Colombia, now modern-day Colombia, Venezuela, Ecuador and Panama. The United States was interested in building a canal through Central America to allow naval and commercial ships to cross between the Pacific and Atlantic oceans. When Colombia rejected the Hay-Herran Treaty that would have granted the US permission to build a canal, the US supported a Panamanian rebellion for independence from Colombia in 1903. Panama declared independence and the US quickly recognized the new nation and signed a treaty granting rights to build the Panama Canal.
War of 1812
The War of 1812 was sparked by British interference with American trade and impressment of American sailors. It led to increased anti-British sentiment in the early 1800s. The US faced many challenges as its army was small and unprepared. While the US navy saw some successes, the British launched attacks on Washington DC and Baltimore. A key turning point was the American victory at Plattsburgh that convinced the British the war was no longer worthwhile. The war ended in 1814 with the Treaty of Ghent, though the Battle of New Orleans solidified American nationalism after the war.
Scamble for concessions
The Open Door Policy was a response to the Scramble for Concessions in China. It called for equal trade opportunities for all nations in China and opposed the creation of exclusive spheres of influence by any power, in an attempt to preserve Chinese sovereignty and territorial and administrative integrity. However, the imperial powers did not fully respect the Open Door Policy and continued carving out their own spheres of influence in China following its military defeats.
Barbary Pirates
The Barbary Pirates originated from North Africa and engaged in piracy against merchant ships in the Mediterranean, demanding tribute payments from foreign powers. During Thomas Jefferson's presidency, debates emerged over whether the United States should pay tribute to or fight the Barbary Pirates. After American ships were attacked and crews taken hostage, the United States fought back, eventually winning naval victories and ending the threat of the Barbary Pirates through military force.

Conquering europe
Napoleon realized his power came from military victories. He defeated the armies of Austria, Russia, and Prussia through surprise attacks and speed, gaining much territory in Europe. In 1807 his enemies signed the Treaty of Tilsit to end the conflict. The Treaty of Tilsit created an alliance between France and Russia, though this broke down when Russia allowed neutral shipping in 1810, leading Napoleon to invade Russia in 1812.
Revolutionary War Project New York City
The document summarizes the Battle of Fort Washington which took place on November 16, 1776 in northern Manhattan. It was part of a series of battles for control of New York City between British General Lord Howe and American General George Washington. During the battle, 8,000 British and German troops defeated 2,900 American troops, forcing them to surrender. This was a major defeat for the Americans and led to the British holding New York for the rest of the war.

It was part of a series of battles for control of New York City between British General Lord Howe and American General George Washington. During the battle, over 2,900 American troops were pinned down in Fort Washington under heavy fire and were forced to surrender to the larger British and Hessian force of over 8,000 troops. The British victory resulted in heavy American casualties, with most of the surrendered troops becoming prisoners. The loss of Fort Washington allowed the British to use New York City as a base for the rest of the war.
Panama
Prior to 1903, Panama was part of Gran Colombia, now modern-day Colombia, Venezuela, Ecuador, and Panama. The United States was interested in building a canal through Central America to allow ships to travel quickly between the Pacific and Atlantic oceans. When Colombia rejected the Hay-Herran Treaty granting the US permission to build a canal, the US supported a Panamanian rebellion for independence from Colombia in 1903. Shortly after Panama declared independence, the US recognized the new nation and signed a treaty to build the Panama Canal.

It describes early efforts by the Spanish and French to build a canal across the Isthmus of Panama in the 1500s and 1800s. The French began construction in 1881 but the project failed after 20,000 workers died and it cost $287 million. The United States took over the project in 1904 and opened the canal in 1914, which shortened ocean travel times significantly. Building the canal presented enormous challenges due to the tropical climate and terrain.
Panama Canal Analysis
The Panama Canal was constructed between 1904 and 1914 after earlier French efforts failed. It connects the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans across the Isthmus of Panama, cutting shipping distances significantly. Major events included the US gaining control of construction under the Hay-Pauncefote Treaty, Roosevelt establishing the canal's importance, and the US supporting Panamanian independence from Colombia to allow canal construction. Disease had been a major challenge for the French but was controlled by the US, allowing the 51-mile canal to be completed on schedule.
Panama canal cek #47
The Panama Canal was built to allow ships to travel between the Atlantic and Pacific oceans without having to sail around South America. Theodore Roosevelt pushed for the canal's construction through Panama, the narrowest point, after Colombia refused to sell the necessary land. Over 45,000 people worked for 10 years to build the 50-mile canal, which included locks to raise and lower ships and overcome Panama's terrain. Thousands of workers died from malaria and yellow fever during construction before the canal opened in 1914.
Panama Revolt and US influence.pptx
The United States played a key role in the Panama Revolution of 1903 and the subsequent building of the Panama Canal. The revolution was engineered by rebels in Panama who were backed by the Panama Canal Company and hoped to build a canal across the Isthmus of Panama. When Colombia rejected the Hay-Herrán Treaty granting the US canal rights, the US gave approval to the Panamanian rebels. It also stopped Colombian troops from reaching Panama by rail, allowing Panama to declare independence on November 3, 1903. The US quickly recognized the new nation and signed a treaty granting it control of the Panama Canal Zone.
The Panama Canal
The Panama Canal connects the Atlantic and Pacific oceans through the Isthmus of Panama. Ferdinand de Lesseps led initial construction efforts by France starting in 1881, using a sea-level canal design. However, heavy rains, landslides, disease outbreaks and engineering challenges caused the loss of over 20,000 lives and bankruptcy after 8 years with little progress. De Lesseps ultimately quit the project in 1888 due to these failures. The United States later took over construction, switching to a lock-based design, and opened the canal in 1914 after 10 more years of work.

Phyllis Schlafly Report 1967 August
This document summarizes an article from the Phyllis Schlafly Report that warns of secret treaties being drafted by the Johnson Administration to give away U.S. control of the Panama Canal. It outlines key points of the proposed treaty, including transferring sovereignty of the canal to Panama, reducing U.S. control over the canal's operations, and increasing annual payments to Panama. Critics argue this would jeopardize U.S. security by putting the strategically important canal under the control of a potentially hostile Panamanian government or making it vulnerable to seizure. The document urges Americans to voice opposition to the treaties to their Senators.
The panama canal.. powepoint3
The Panama Canal has its origins in early explorers recognizing the opportunity to create a water passage between the Atlantic and Pacific oceans through the narrow isthmus of Panama. France began construction but failed, after which the United States took over the project, opening the canal in 1914. The canal remains an important commercial waterway, allowing ships to travel between oceans and saving thousands of miles of travel. It generates billions in revenue annually for Panama.
"Big Stick" Diplomacy
Theodore Roosevelt believed in American interventionism and naval strength. He helped negotiate an end to the Russo-Japanese War and sent the Great White Fleet around the world. Roosevelt also announced the Roosevelt Corollary expanding America's right to intervene in Latin America and took control of the Panama Canal Zone. Woodrow Wilson initially kept America neutral in WWI but Germany's unrestricted submarine warfare and the Zimmermann Telegram led Wilson to declare war in 1917.
THE ROLE OF THE UNITED STATES IN PANAMA’S JOURNEY TOWARDS INDEPENDENCE
Panama's geographic location as the "Crossroads of the Americas" has played a significant role in its history and journey to independence. Even after Panama's independence from Colombia, the construction and later operation of the Panama Canal had the power to keep the United States on the isthmus for almost one hundred years. This article attempts to chronicle Panama's path toward independence by briefly exploring Panama's history as a colony of Spain and as a province of Colombia. However, its focus is Panama's relationship with the United States, which proved to be the most complex and complicated at the international level. In addition, the circumstances of the signing of the Hay-Bunau-Varilla Treaty and the unusual relationship that came with it are also focal points. The article concludes with the disputes stemming from the United States' jurisdiction in the Canal Zone that led to the signing of the TorrijosCarter Treaty and Panama achieving total sovereignty over its territory on December 31, 1999.
