Hello!

When Panama was created in 1903, President Theodore Roosevelt used his power to recognize the new nation so quickly because he wanted to build the Panama Canal.

Panama was (in 1903) part of Colombia. When the American Government wanted to build the Panama Canal to connect the Pacific and Atlantic oceans, they had to pay a lot of money to do so, but Colombians wanted more and more. This caused President Theodore Roosevelt to get angry and supported a revolt in Panama who overtake the Government and made an agreement with the leader of the revolution (Manuel Amador) to build the Panama Canal soon after he took the power. 

Have a nice day!
