As a Panamanian I'll advise you the following for the sake of clarity... The French started the Panama Canal. US finished it. And PER a treaty "rented" it for 100 yrs. Per a treaty. After then, it was returned to Panama. US has no "right"to the canal.
@@henrickrw thank you. I also do not believe that the USA has any right to the canal and I am disappointed that the President elect of the USA believes otherwise. Thank you for watching and for your comment. 🇵🇦🇵🇦🇵🇦
Thank you, Ayesha for the great and informative video. I was aware of the “basic” history of the canal and U.S. involvement. However, I was not aware of the disgusting and racist treatment of the Panamanian people during the building of the canal (though not surprised because of America being what it is). Thank you again. I have shared the video with others.♥️
@@hijadelucy1950 thanks for watching. Yeah, most people aren’t aware of the treatment of certain workers for the canal. Their story had to be told and there was more to tell but the video would have been too long.
Yeah, as a panamanian i always knew the US didnt contribute almos anything (not to say you didnt help) they just used all the leftover french assets. Btw we just spent 10 billion dollars making it wider.
Great video. The haters have watched your video and can't take it. They don't know anything about Panama's Relationship with the US, let alone everything that happened in the Canal Zone with segregation, pay inequalities, and more (both of my grandfathers were also silver-roll paid employees). One time I asked my son if school taught him anything about the Panama Canal and the relationship with Panama, and he said "They just taught me the US built the Panama Canal, that was it" So I had to educate him and bring him to Panama for a real history lesson. I hope the Americans who retired in Panama get to mingle with other Panamanians, enjoy the culture, and learn from other Panamanians about everything Panama has to offer. It's time to let the wound heal up and move on. Cheers from DC.
Excellent historical overview, and very enlightening! I was not aware of many aspects of the bilateral relations between the US and Panama. As an American, I feel disappointment and sorrow whenever our nation's government does not act consistently with the values and ideals that contributed to its greatness. I pray this situation can be resolved by respectful dialog and not threats and coercion. The United States and Panama have much more to gain from cooperation and friendship than by pursuing conflict.

Thank you Ayesha. Appreciate your reporting. Linguistics experts have put Donald Trump's language and writing level at 3rd grade. The use of the word magnanimous is strong evidence he is not the author of that post. Peace.

@@weredragon1447 thank you so much for watching. I wholeheartedly agree that most do not go into depth about what building the canal really entailed , who contributed to it and what they endured.

The workers that died building the canal were mostly black based on labor brought in from all over the world. Just as you know live in better housing than 80% of Panamanians. As back then. When you took a job from a third world country to travel to Panama it was a step up and you lived better than where you came from.
@@AbroadAbility You should not make another video if you are not getting your history right. We panamanian are very proud of our heritage and culture.

Panama joined the Gran Colombia voluntarily at the same time Venezuela and Ecuador did. Panama did not gain independence from Colombia. It gained independence from Spain. Panama was not a state, province, department, etc of Colombia. Panama tried to separate itself from the Gran Colombia just as Venezuela and Ecuador did. But when Panama tried, Colombia having a stronger army did not let Panama "separate" from it. There were a few wars and uprisings by the Panamanians. ruclips.net/video/anNSgQhoSIU/видео.html
Excellent! Excellent! Excellent! 🙏 It is the part where the United States claimed it built the Canal but dismisses the efforts of workers from other nations is what gets to me. The Canal Zone was constructed following Jim Crow policies of segregation. Privileged white U.S. citizens and their dependents were granted certain rights based on race. Black Panamanians and migrant laborers, mostly from the Caribbean, took the bulk of low-paying jobs and lived in the Canal Zone's segregated neighborhoods. I was told this by a Panamian who lives in Colon. He was not lying. There are many truths about Panama's history that some prefer to keep hidden. However, I believe concealing the truth simply to avoid discomfort is unhealthy. In 1977, President Jimmy Carter made the historic decision to transfer control of the Panama Canal to Panama. I deeply admire his actions. Former President Carter passed away yesterday, December 29, 2024, at the remarkable age of 100. May he rest in peace. And, Donald Trump, WTH! His dictatorial, hegemonic, and imperialistic mentality is unsettling and untenable as I want to relocate to Panama soon. Good for you, Presidente José Raúl Mulino! 👏👏👏
@@RonsWorld5 thank you for watching and adding to the discussion. Someone commented that this video was biased. Yup, it sure is just like there is a bias when the USA says we built the canal and does not mention who else helped….

Thank you thank you for this informative video!! I so appreciate you sharing this information.

The credit for eradicating the yellow fever goes to a cuban citizen. Gorgas built on the groundbreaking work of Dr. Carlos Finlay, a Cuban doctor who theorized that mosquitoes (specifically the Aedes aegypti) were the primary vectors for yellow fever. This theory was confirmed by the work of the Walter Reed Commission, which conducted experiments to prove the link between mosquitoes and the disease.
@@memusetoo thank you so much!!!! It is great hearing from you! It was on my heart to make this video with so many Americans already here and with more on the way.
What, my gramps was buddies with Reagan. Reagen didn't wanna take back the canal, almost complete opposite he actually loved panama and didn't want us to live in dictatorship and tiranny. Edit: My grandpa was the ambassador of Panama at the US and i got all the letters they sent eachother and it truly warms my heart. Fly high Bebello❤️.
The Hay-Bunau Varilla Treaty of 1904 wasn't signed by any Panamanian. Philippe Bunau Varilla was the lawyer of the French company that had failed in the construction of the Canal. Of course he was looking for the interest of the French Company and not the interest of Panama.
I to am a Panamanian citizen and love my country with all my heart and soul. But I was forced out as a white man. My family was there with the French. So I am as Panamanian as they get.
Panama should be at Panama. People tend to forget most nations and people helped build the canal some people from the Caribbean region, China 🇨🇳, Latin America and the USA probably some others I can’t name. Panama 🇵🇦 canal belongs to Panama 🇵🇦. Enough said.
Good day. I’ll be happy to school you are per allot of your information is off. I was born and raised in Panama and know allot about it as a 4th Gen Zonian.
@@cryptopirate1519 please share. This video was meant for people to learn and as a starting point for those who don’t know anything about the history of the two countries. I could only go off of what I read. It sounds like I need to make an updated video…
I skimmed through the vid. Where is the part where they sold the ports on each end to Hong Kong? Which is now totally controlled by the CCP! If you don't see a problem with this, you're not paying attention!!
When did trump try to enter into a diplomatic relationship with Panama during his first lackluster administration? China reached out to South America during this time and they successfully developed diplomatic and financial relationships. One would think if this waterway was so important to him, why did he neglect to act in America's interest, when he had a great opportunity. I guess he was golfing or just ignorant.
@ really you know what year the CCP bought the ports? Please share this as google is controlled by the dems and will not share this info. Maybe under Obama as he let the CCP take islands from the philippines?You doubt that? You need a reality check
I had to stop watching at 10 minutes. There was so much that is incorrect. I'm exhausted trying to correct the record. Especially fighting RUclips. Can't even copy and paste from the original treaty without getting its shadowed. Tired of it all. - One Exhausted Historian
So as it is now. You got the level of housing that was commensurate with your skill level and all races of highly skilled workers came from all over the world and got better housing based on skill level. Not racism.
You forgot to mention how much panama is charging the US to use the Canal. More than anyone else. 400k to 800k per ship. Considering the entire US Navy uses it besides its merchant ships.Very unfair. The US is providing the security and millions of dollars in maintenance every year for this Canal. Not to mention billions it sends in foreign aid. So if your going to make a video like this at least be truthful! The USA saved panama and because of the USA Panama has some world recognition. If it wasn't for the USA panama would still be a dumping ground for Columbia. Facts matter and you don't seem to know all the facts. Please do your homework. Stop being a USA Hater like the Democrat Party and radical leftists.
You are so wrong. The US did not build the canal out of the goodness of its heart. Teddy was high in the whole imperialism thing. For your information, In 2023, a large Neopanamax container ship carrying 10,000 TEUs could pay around $450,000 for a single transit, while a smaller Panamax bulk carrier might pay closer to $50,000. There was another big ship that paid over a million dollars. The Panama Canal Authority (ACP) provides an online toll calculator to estimate fees based on a ship's specifications and transit details. For container ships, fees are often based on the number of TEUs (Twenty-foot Equivalent Units) being carried. For bulk carriers and tankers, fees may depend on the volume or weight of the cargo. Different types of ships are categorized and charged based on their primary function. Common categories include: Container ships Bulk carriers Passenger ships (cruise ships) Tankers (oil, LNG, etc.) General cargo ships Vehicle carriers (roll-on/roll-off ships)
Like it or not. Panama is a sovereign nation that the United States has no rights to. Leave the toxic political attitude in the United States. A lot of us are leaving there to escape it.

Well, YOU set us straight then. I'm waiting...
Dude im from panama and unless everything ive been tought about it in school is wrong then ill say its cherry picking info.
I skimmed through the vid. Where is the part where they sold the ports on each end to Hong Kong? Which is now totally controlled by the CCP! If you don't see a problem with this, you're not paying attention!!
When did trump try to enter into a diplomatic relationship with Panama during his first lackluster administration? China reached out to South America during this time and they successfully developed diplomatic and financial relationships. One would think if this waterway was so important to him, why did he neglect to act in America's interest, when he had a great opportunity. I guess he was golfing or just ignorant.
@ really you know what year the CCP bought the ports? Please share this as google is controlled by the dems and will not share this info. Maybe under Obama as he let the CCP take islands from the philippines?You doubt that? You need a reality check
@@grandrapladyakaamb2438Trump is back and the only ignorance is.coming from your side . China is our enemy .
I had to stop watching at 10 minutes. There was so much that is incorrect. I'm exhausted trying to correct the record. Especially fighting RUclips. Can't even copy and paste from the original treaty without getting its shadowed. Tired of it all.

Okay tell me everything thats incorrect please.
Very biased video, super narrow-minded
So as it is now. You got the level of housing that was commensurate with your skill level and all races of highly skilled workers came from all over the world and got better housing based on skill level. Not racism.
You forgot to mention how much panama is charging the US to use the Canal. More than anyone else. 400k to 800k per ship. Considering the entire US Navy uses it besides its merchant ships.Very unfair. The US is providing the security and millions of dollars in maintenance every year for this Canal. Not to mention billions it sends in foreign aid. So if your going to make a video like this at least be truthful! The USA saved panama and because of the USA Panama has some world recognition. If it wasn't for the USA panama would still be a dumping ground for Columbia. Facts matter and you don't seem to know all the facts. Please do your homework. Stop being a USA Hater like the Democrat Party and radical leftists.
You are so wrong. The US did not build the canal out of the goodness of its heart. Teddy was high in the whole imperialism thing.
For your information, In 2023, a large Neopanamax container ship carrying 10,000 TEUs could pay around $450,000 for a single transit, while a smaller Panamax bulk carrier might pay closer to $50,000. There was another big ship that paid over a million dollars.
The Panama Canal Authority (ACP) provides an online toll calculator to estimate fees based on a ship's specifications and transit details.
For container ships, fees are often based on the number of TEUs (Twenty-foot Equivalent Units) being carried.
For bulk carriers and tankers, fees may depend on the volume or weight of the cargo.
Different types of ships are categorized and charged based on their primary function. Common categories include:
Container ships
Bulk carriers
Passenger ships (cruise ships)
Tankers (oil, LNG, etc.)
General cargo ships
Vehicle carriers (roll-on/roll-off ships)
Watch the documentary Panama Deception if you want to talk about what USA has “done” for Panama.
Like it or not. Panama is a sovereign nation that the United States has no rights to. Leave the toxic political attitude in the United States. A lot of us are leaving there to escape it.
@@CharlieBrown0507 thank you so much for sharing this! This video seems to have ruffled a lot of feathers when I just wanted to shed some light on the history of the two countries. Gone are the days of people doing their own research…. If I included EVERYTHING, I would still be making this video lol. Thank you for your other comments as well. 👊🏽🙏🏽🇵🇦
@@AbroadAbility I understand. And then there are those like this guy/gal @100pctdago3 that are spoon fed false information and then post it everywhere as facts. Everything he/she wrote is false. So it needed to be corrected.
Panama se separó de Colombia, aprende la
Historia correctamente?
Trump take the Canal back 😂😂😂😂
Trump shouldn't just take the Panama Canal back. He should annex Panama and make it a state. Get mad. 🥱🤣
Reagan was the first one to propose this nonsense!
We haven't heard about it since as far as I recall.
@@matt3024 wow! I didn’t know that!!!!
@@AbroadAbilityWhat, my gramps was buddies with Reagan. Reagen didn't wanna take back the canal, almost complete opposite he actually loved panama and didn't want us to live in dictatorship and tiranny.
Edit: My grandpa was the ambassador of Panama at the US and i got all the letters they sent eachother and it truly warms my heart. Fly high Bebello❤️.
