a U.S Intervention A U.S. Intervention As early as the 1500’s, the idea of constructing a ship canal between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans occurred to navigators and explorers, as the geographical form of the Central American Isthmus was becoming known. Many Isthmus surveys were made over the years. Opinion remained divided between a route through Panama and a longer route through Nicaragua. This divided opinion continued until the building of the Panama Canal was begun by the U.S. in 1904. By the end of the century the U.S. government would find themselves in an unnerving situation; concerned with the Panama Canal and other economic interests would unfortunately demonstrate unequaled force and damage to an innocent people with their focus on something other than what was in the sights of their rifles. Panama was originally created by the US in 1903 so that they could build a canal between the Pacific and the Atlantic Ocean. Noriega, Panama’s defacto leader, was in league with the US, the CIA, and the Drug Enforcement Agency until 1986. In June 1987 violent popular demonstrations erupted in the streets, due to reports of election fraud and Noriega’s involvement in major human rights abuses. noriega, panama, canal, american, panamanian, invasion, military, giroldi, force, coup, 1989, states, drug, between, united, popular, over, noriega’s, economic, drugs, bush, trafficking, through, threats, president, people, negotiations, leaders, law, international, forces, end, crushed, city, capture, against, after, actually, 1988, years, within, way, wanted, vote, violated, uprising, until, unfortunately, un, trade
