There’s so much more to this story that had to be left out… The US threw their weight behind the discovery that mosquitoes transmitted malaria and yellow fever. They removed stagnant water, rotting food, and bodies from the region, in what was then the largest sanitation project ever seen. It was a giant experiment who’s success proved to the world how deadly mosquitoes had been.
After the French left Panama, evidence of misappropriation of funds was found. De Lesseps had also been bribing the French press to encourage share sales. Eventually de Lesseps and Eiffel were prosecuted in “The Panama Affair” that rocked France. He never served prison time however, due to ill health.
The Panama-US treaty of 1903 was negotiated by the Panamanian representative Philippe-Jean Bunau-Varilla, a French engineer. Panama initially rejected the treaty, but reneged when the US threatened to withdraw their navy. This would have left Panama to continue revolt on their own. The separation of Panama from Colombia is a weighty topic that I did not do justice to in this video, there's some much better videos/articles out there if you want the bigger picture.
The cost for a ship to pass through the canal is determined by weight. The Norwegian Pearl paid $375,600 in 2010 - this is still cheaper than sailing around Cape Horn. In 1928 Richard Halliburton swam the canal for 36 cents.
If you want to read more about the history of the canal, I highly recommend David McCullough’s book “The Path Between the Seas”. (Although the audiobook is badly narrated so read it instead.) To give you an idea of how big the expansion project was, checkout this time-lapse ruclips.net/video/mXS3BVQTgEU/видео.html
Could you please-please-PUH-LEASE work on your speaking volume? In almost every sentence you speak you drop to a near whisper on the last couple of words. It makes it both distracting and difficult to understand sometimes. Please.
Ooh, I love this bonus facts section! So hard to trim interesting facts for the sake of concise storytelling :( This bonus bits section is perfect. Great vid!!
" In 1928 Richard Halliburton swam the canal for 36 cents."
This is really funny somehow. I don't know why but it cracked me up.
i just started watching this channel and your pretty good. i think ill subscribe.
A man, A plan, A canal, Panama. Spell it backwards
Check out coolrockstar2006
The French started but couldn’t complete it.
The U.S. constructed it.
Panama upgraded it.
Captain Kefler. Correction, the Panamanians rebuilt it!
Right:
A French companie started it , but could'nt complete it
U.S completed it
///Colombia receives billions of dollars by lost panama and upgrade his infrastructure.
Panama rebuilt it
He forgot most of the new Canal is being made by Spanish companies and Spanish engineers.

@@alfrredd true, but are only facfs of politics. In Latinoamerica spanish companies have big influence in goverments. That problem give a lot of corruption, because spanish companies are some corrupt.
As a Barbadian, I sincerely appreciate the fairness and attention to detail with which you have investigated and presented this information. Those men who left and went to Panama are referred to as the 'silver men' because by their sacrifice many families in Barbados and other British West Indian colonies at that time, were able to become economically independent and upwardly mobile. Malaria, yellowfever and other illnesses took a hard toll and there were vast differences in pay and living conditions due only to the nonsense of race. Perhaps one day everyone can delete this insipid concept and get back to simply looking upon each other as fellow human beings.
Will definitely check any other of your posts!
Have a great day!
And because of those Men came today Panama love caribean culture, music and cusine.
Yeah, I really like how he mentioned the labourers whose influence has also left a huge effect on the country today.
Too often we only acknowledge the leaders or owners of something and not the millions of supporters they relied on. I bet any of us could accomplish something massive if we had the hands and ideas of that many people.

Lol 😂
@@carteradams43 the reality is Egyptians are the ones who digged the canal under delesebs command yet he betrayed them by allowing the british ships to pass through and invade the country.
I live in Panama an hahhaha nice comment
The final pitch/request for pateron support on this video was the first time i've actually experienced a honest, down to the point and an understanding on people that are in a position to afford helping out (older successful adults for the most part), even in little bits and the people who can't (mostly students). I admire the people who support informative videos so all of us can benifit and hopefully when us students gain our degrees and start making significant income from professional/skillful jobs, we too can contribute more to the YT content providers/suppliers that help us gain an advantage for free at the time where the two are very important
I love the accuracy on this video
Greetings from Panamá 🇵🇦
I’m also living in Panama
Oh yeah yeah
Also, many Chinese helped built the Canal and many Chinese stayed to establish communities in Panama and became Panamanian
Chinese workers were widespread across the Americas, most of US railways were built by Chinese.
You clearly put a lot of work and time in your videos. I really enjoyed it :)
Seriously great stuff dude!
You sound so professional as if you have been doing this for a while so i was very surprised to find out that that is not the case. Great work and i really hope you get big enough to do this full time. Ill certainly be here when you do :)
This is, in a nutshell, the best explanation available on the subject. Good work and greetings from Panama!
...the narrator's voice, the story, the word plays, and the animations..100%...I love it..
U like men? 🤦♂️
The Navy Ship my grandad served on during WW2 passed through this canal in 1943. Thank you so much for sharing this video, the history behind this is fascinating . 🇱🇷🇬🇧

Wait what?? This is south america, maybe you are referring to suez canal
@@mikaddie he's referring to the video,please watch it
@@jordanwardan7588 MB VLOGS is correct. The Panama canal did essentially turn South America into an island, just as the Suez did to Africa.
@@jordanwardan7588 And BTW, Australia is the worlds largest island nation.
This video is really accurate, greetings from panama.
Lentes soy de Panama, no lo es. It didnt talk about how Phillip Bunau negotiated the canal treaty.
Lentes de que parte eres!?
Damaso Rodriguez tienes que leer la descripcion el ahi hace un acknowledge de que dejo muchas cosas sin profundizar.
Tin Tin Tin Tin Sí lo leí pero a pesar de hacer mencion de que dejo muchas cosas sin explicar, en realidad la falla fue en comunicar informacion no verídica al decir que Panama firmo el tratado cuando fue un frances sin ninguna legitimidad del pueblo panameño.
Damaso Rodriguez tienes razon.
Extremely informative video.Thanks Human Interests for taking the pains to build a superb one and helping me gain huge insights into a topic I had very less knowledge about.Please keep enlightening.
Your video has been shared on the Dutch website dumpert.nl and has been watched 13.000 times in the last 40 minutes. Thought you should know.
Thanks for letting me know. I can't tell if it's embedded from RUclips or re-uploaded, do you know? I find the site hard to navigate with zero Dutch. I'm always amazed at their English fluency.
Human Interests We're a small country so our economy depends a lot on trading with foreign countries. Also it helps that our languages aren't very different. The video on dumpert is embedded (that's how I got here) and it has hit 47.000 views.
74.000 views as we speak. The URL www.dumpert.nl/mediabase/7327181/a127d51b/wie_heeft_het_panama_kanaal_gemaakt_.html

Forgot I had subscribed here. Excellent video! Hope to see more in the future!
such a good video my friend. Congratulations. To make some constructive criticism: you could work on the clarity of the audio. i think your voice and intonation is good, but it'd be great if you could, e.g., pass it through a multiband compressor, to increase the higher frequencies' volume. thanks for putting out the videos. greatly appreciated.
VERY WELL DONE! THANKS!

You do great Videos and I am happy that there are channels like yours.
Keep up your good work.
I just discovered your channel through the color blind videos. You have some amazing content! On to Esperanto!
Fantastic video explaining the history behind all of this. I love the unbiased approach. Thank you!
In a nutshell: Panama was invented to build a canal.
Yep 😂
Panama was created by America to build a canal and then a century later they said we want the canal to belong to us, the us that wasn't us till u created us! 😂
@@KRONIKBASS808 Panama already existed way back in 1821 when the spanish were kicked out.
carl gilham I think the US still rules the canal, but more secretly and sophisticatedly.
Panma existed way before since 1821.😑
More informative than 45 minutes television documentary, awesome work.
So they kicked Panama out of Panama and made a canal
Connecting the two oceans
Emperor Echo Bill wurtz
No America owned the Panama canal the deal was the land in exchange for Independence
Emperor Echo Gotta love the history of the world refrences
*No Americans already owned the world ....and the moon as of 1969*
They created Panama country in order to be able to create Panama canal.
Not sure why I haven't seen your vids in my suggested list before as I always watch stuff like this. Great work, keep it coming! Only thing I would suggest in my opinion is to slow it down a very small amount as it would make it a bit more relaxing to follow and still get the message across :)
Love this channel I hope it gets big, your videos are edited amazingly, and make your words even easier to understand.
Fantastic video, loved it. Can’t wait to see more interesting content!
I like how you just brushed the Invasion of Panama off to the side... 7:10 also known as Operation: Just Cause in the early 90s. But anyways Víva Panamá 🇵🇦
Finally a channel worth subscribing. Great stuff!!
Panama be like "Yeah, sure." LMFAO
I cross over the canal every day and admire it, but its history is even better. Really accurate and informative, though the invasion was a pretty big deal. greetings from Panama.
6:07 wtf dude ! Germany didn't declared war on France ! Its France and russia that declared war after germany entered the war with serbia which was declared n'y austria-hungary
MrBart HD it also declared war on france in anticipation of a french declaration, it was vital for them to get the first strike on france
Then the Germans went into Belgium and the Brits declared war on Germany.
The good old American way
I believe the historical record shows that Germany declared war - 3 August 1914 - on France some hours before France reciprocated. The Germans had to to create some scant legitimacy for the Schlieffen plan. It had declared war on Russia 2days before.
Germany declared on both France and Russia...
Great video! Thanks for posting!
Good video! Greetings from Panamá!
Wow! Im so glad i found your channel. Great stuff! Please keep up the good work. Thank you.
My favorite palindrome: A man, a plan, a canal, Panama!
This is really clever, but according to this video there are multiple plans, thousands of men and technically more than one canal :(
You make good videos! I was surprised you were only at 16k! Good luck in the future!
"can we have it back please ?"
"NOPE "
😂😂
Concise and accurate distillation of the Canal's history. Well done! For readers interested in more detail, I strongly recommend David McCullough's "The Path Between The Seas".
This channel's going to blow up
We learned this in apush but we didnt go as in depth as the video. Its great you did. Thank you
Great video, but I wouldn't call the bloodiest civil war in the history of Colombia just "political unrest".
mrpalaces "La Violencia" aún no estaba en su punto más alto, los conflictos políticos eran pequeños en comparación con el Bogotazo, que sucedió más tarde, en los 40's
Wow, what a video!
Never knew about the great ordeal people went through to build this great Canal.
Thank you for sharing and please keep up the good work :)
Originally the USA tried to build a canal across the Tehuantepec isthmus in Mexico, in order to do that they tried to use the same trick they used to steal Texas: they sent American settlers to establish in those lands and eventually the zone would declare their independence from Mexico, just as they did it with Texas. The Mexican government learned their lesson and when they noticed it they changed the Constitution forbidding foreigners to own lands at the beaches and expelled some American settlers. United States tried to invade Mexico once again, but Mexico built a huge cannon in Veracruz that was fired once, hitting an American destroyer in the Gulf of Mexico. The United States then desisted with the idea of taking that land to build a canal and instead they decided to implement that plan in another country: Colombia. They did exactly that, they sent settlers in Northern Colombia, then they declared the independence of that land and created a new country: Panama. The USA wasn't interested in another colony, so they left the country independent, but in "return for their favor" they took possession on they land they used to build the canal.
Goddamn you are the only frickin smart person un here. You got my like
that's correct.
You right 👍

Well, about that...
Outside of the atrocities you have to be impressed with the results of human ingenuity.
no its not imprresive at all just the rich using people to become richer. Stop destroying Native land. True human ingenuity is the ones who live with the earth and don't live off Money.
@@mmakotal4388 You'd be living in grass huts chasing animals with sticks if it weren't for human ingenuity
I really enjoyed this video. I knew of the Panama canal but not much of it's history. Thanks for making this video.
Still think it's so bizarre that the Panama Canal has the Atlantic Ocean on the WEST side and the Pacific Ocean to the EAST.
Atlantic Ocean is on the north and Pacific Ocean on the south
@@gatekeeping8528 *caribbean in the north
El Polar I don’t know if you’re aware of this but the Caribbean is a sea, not an ocean, that happens to be in the Atlantic ocean
excellent job dude ! Keep up the good work
Nice video!! Cheers from Panama!!

Growing up in Panama I remember riding my bike with my friends up to Gatun Locks and watching the huge freight ships go thru the locks.
6.08 Germany Declared war on France
LOL NOPE
That first person camera view thru the canal at the end was really cool. Gonna try to find the whole thing
Por que se refieren como “America” a Estados Unidos?, una cosa es el país (Estados Unidos) y otra cosa es el continente (América).
Es como con México. El nombre de México es Estados Unidos Mexicanos aunque todos le llaman México; en este caso es Estados Unidos de América y le llaman America
Porque Estado Unidos es u pais. Is America de Norte es un continente
well I truly like the way you research on before making your RUclips videos. You are inspiration for me. I follow you.
I lived in Panama for eight years and my wife is Panamanian...she would tell you that the Americans (yes with help of people of other nations...not governments of those nations) built the canal... we financed it, built it. and ran it...
Until Torrijos got and wanted it for himself,,, then Noriega had Torrijos killed and wanted it...I was there during the "White Crusade" (based on the white clothes the protesters wore) that eventually got rid of Noriega from Panama...
They all recognized the true builders of the canal, and we respectfully followed president carter's decision to give the canal to Panama...which they have now given the partial control to China,,,
Get your facts straight...I know...I was there...
Partial control to China? Could I get some source on that?
when did Panama give partial control to China exactly? i think your confusing Panama's decision to betray Taiwan with the control and sovereignty of the canal
He is probably talking about some ports, for example there is a port on charge by a chinesse company: Panama Ports that belongs to Hutchison Port Holdings.
had to watch this for school work
Básicamente Estados Unidos dijo a Colombia "plata o plomo"... Como siempre
🤣
Es mas complicado. Panama queria su independencia de Colombia, y sabia que esta era la oportunidad de oro y la tomo. Estados Unidos tambien tenia su agenda personal. Al final, Panama obtubo su soberania, Colombia perdio el istmo de Panama, y Estados Unidos construyo el Canal interosianico.
Achala vida mo
5:48 After the completion of the Panama Canal some of the steam shovels went to Deer Lake, Newfoundland, Canada - to dig a nine mile long canal. The Humber Canal is used to divert water to a hydroelectric power house. The electricity is for a paper mill 32 miles away.
Good old Teddy
I just found the channel and i am HOOKED! So cool and wellmade videos. They are laidback and not pumped fill with facts like many other channels do. Great work, Love to se more!
So typical, the French give up and the Americans end up flooding half the country.
The french were the nice guys, willing to give 5% for the right to use the canal, and not flooding the place. Which cost them severely but oh well nice guys finish last.
Americans were capitalists in their prime expression looking for the quickest way to get the job done fuck nature and shit we need to get da cash, also fuck paying the local government jack shit for using this incredibly profitable structure
nerossal if it wasn't for the French you yanks would still be British..
TheLewisma Ironic that the cold and heartless capitalist system makes globalism so much cheaper of a concept
Ed Moritz how many lives does the money saved (by the already multimillionaire companies) translate to?
Burned Edits If it weren't for America the French would still be German 👌🏿
Your gonna go big on youtube with content like this
As a Colombian, we deeply hate Teddy Roosevelt for taking Panama away from us.
At least we eventually got money AND eternal free passage in the canal.
Panama would have eventually separated with or without the US.
Poor sad salty little colombians too bad we took Panama god bless the Imperial federation of America💁♂️💕
@@mr.g3203 at least we are not fat and products of inbreeding lol
Thank you so much. This has been a question on my mind for so long.

The pronounciation is ... bankwupt wooswelt, fwench empiwe, ... ouch.
great stuff. love the way you explained.

Communism wasn't even invented, it was the Qing dynasty
Whole Ireland was part of the UK
India was still known as the British India with its own flag
and...
i like the video btw
What's wrong with using the modern flags of the nations in question? Seems logical to me.
Yet you don't find it odd that cheap labourers should be given the credit rather than the people with the money and willpower to make the whole thing happen? That to me is what disturbed me about the video, he actually thinks that indians/irish/chinese should be given full credit just because they were the cheapest available labour at the time.
What would the flag for ireland be at the time? Im sure they wouldn't appreciate the union flag. St Patrick's cross? as for the cheap chinese labor they dint get much credit at the time for the building of the american trans continetal railroad either but for the most part i don't think it mattered to them. it was still better then what they got at home. Also a few were probably america but racism at the time would still lump them in with the other chinese. apperently the chinese railroad workers took longer to assimilate then even the japanese who came for the later american rail projects.
Socialism and communism were both around in 1904
Cédric Coulombe You do know that communism has been around for a long time right?
Congratulations on your videos; educational, informative and I like the pace. Do one about Brazil and Portugal.
I was about to follow... but he said Columbia... is COLOMBIA!
Loving this one thanks for sharing very important information giving thanks blessed love to all knowledge is power hopefully everyone pays attention keep up the good work please don't forget about the people from Jamaica and other countries that help build the canal giving thanks 🙏🙏🙏🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲💪💪💪
“The panama wail woad was a majow awtewy fow amewicans wooking fow gold”

Cash money im laughing so hard
My tío used to work en el Canal. He often tell us stories about how the spirits of the workers that helped to built el Canal are around there. He once told me about how he could heard someone asking for help and to "open the gate" but he couldn't and didn't see anyone, it was just his team and him. Also one time, he told me, it was raining a lot, and there was a lot of mist, his team and him were pulling like a thick rope, and in a bad movement the rope got out of their hands, and hit one of his teammates so hard in the head that he lost one eye.

I went through the Panama canal when I was in the Navy. It looked a bit on the rough side. Geez, the was in 2002, maybe 2003. My, time flies.

West Indians: Barbadians, Jamaicans, St. Lucians, Trinidadians, Guyanese, Belizeans built it.
Some french west indians built it, we don't want to talk about it tho like if it's taboo. I only learnt about that when an old photo of my late late grandfather was found. it's another tragic part of our history.
Just cause the explosion of a star made the Earth, doesn't mean we say a star built the Eiffel tower, even if it produced the resources.
Not only Afro-Carrribean People, Panamamians (I'm Panamanian), South Americans, North Americans, Chineses, Indians, Africans, Europeans and others did it.
Only with American and French funding.
No. This idea was before the american and french, since always, Panama is a bridge and canal to connect the americas and the oceans. P.D.: I'm from Panama, dudes.
