THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE PANAMA CANAL

As early as the mid-sixteenth century, interest in a canal across the Central American isthmus began to take root, primarily out of trade interests. The subsequent discovery of gold in California in 1848 further spurred interest in connecting the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, and led to the construction of the Panama Railway, which began operations in 1855. Several attempts by France to construct a canal between 1881 and 1894 failed due to a combination of financial crises and health hazards, including malaria and yellow fever, which led to the deaths of thousands of French workers.

Upon becoming president in 1901, Roosevelt was determined to succeed where others had failed. Following the advice that Mahan set forth in his book The Influence of Seapower upon History, he sought to achieve the construction of a canal across Central America, primarily for military reasons associated with empire, but also for international trade considerations. The most strategic point for the construction was across the fifty-mile isthmus of Panama, which, at the turn of the century, was part of the nation of Colombia. Roosevelt negotiated with the government of Colombia, sometimes threatening to take the project away and build through Nicaragua, until Colombia agreed to a treaty that would grant the United States a lease on the land across Panama in exchange for a payment of $10 million and an additional $250,000 annual rental fee. The matter was far from settled, however. The Colombian people were outraged over the loss of their land to the United States, and saw the payment as far too low. Influenced by the public outcry, the Colombian Senate rejected the treaty and informed Roosevelt there would be no canal.

Undaunted, Roosevelt chose to now wield the “big stick.” In comments to journalists, he made it clear that the United States would strongly support the Panamanian people should they choose to revolt against Colombia and form their own nation. In November 1903, he even sent American battleships to the coast of Colombia, ostensibly for practice maneuvers, as the Panamanian revolution unfolded. The warships effectively blocked Colombia from moving additional troops into the region to quell the growing Panamanian uprising. Within a week, Roosevelt immediately recognized the new country of Panama, welcoming them to the world community and offering them the same terms—$10 million plus the annual $250,000 rental fee—he had previously offered Colombia. Following the successful revolution, Panama became an American protectorate, and remained so until 1939.

Once the Panamanian victory was secured, with American support, construction on the canal began in May 1904. For the first year of operations, the United States worked primarily to build adequate housing, cafeterias, warehouses, machine shops, and other elements of infrastructure that previous French efforts had failed to consider. Most importantly, the introduction of fumigation systems and mosquito nets following Dr. Walter Reed’s discovery of the role of mosquitoes in the spread of malaria and yellow fever reduced the death rate and restored the fledgling morale among workers and American-born supervisors. At the same time, a new wave of American engineers planned for the construction of the canal. Even though they decided to build a lock-system rather than a sea-level canal, workers still had to excavate over 170 million cubic yards of earth with the use of over one hundred new rail-mounted steam shovels. Excited by the work, Roosevelt became the first sitting U.S. president to leave the country while in office. He traveled to Panama where he visited the construction site, taking a turn at the steam shovel and removing dirt. The canal opened in 1914, permanently changing world trade and military defense patterns.

A photograph shows the excavation of the Culebra Cut in the construction of the Panama Canal.

A it’s your best option

Number 1: No. A state constitution is only abided by that state therefore the rest of the world wouldn’t have to abide by those rules unless they had their own. Our constitution is very important making up a list of laws that keep the USA stable.

Number 2: No because we would have to have 1/3 majority of votes from the original 13 states. So therefore, we would not have had any constitution to keep us in tact

1. The power to veto legislation from congress.
2. The power to break a tie vote in the Senate.
3. The power to sign treaties with foreign nations.
4. The power to pardon criminals.
5. None of the above.

Answers

I want to say it’s 2. The power to break a tie vote in the Senate. But i feel that’s not true because i know that vice presidents are able to break the tie but not vote. only if it’s to break a tie and i know that the President can’t do that therefore my answer is 2.

Process of elimination proves smoothly with this one.

Starting with the 1st option and the 4th option, the president can both do these two things. This leaves option 2, 3, and 5.

The president has the ability to sign treaties with different nations and countries, so then that would leave option 3 and 5.

Going into option 3.... the power to break a tie votes in Senate is the Vice President’s job, and no one else’s.

The correct answer for this one is:
Option 3, The power to sign treaties with foreign nations.

If wrong, then the answer would be:
Option 5, None of the above.

Which two characteristics of the city of Ur show that it has the unique features of a Mesopotamian civilization?

A. remains of a city on land near the Tigris-Euphrates river system

B. mentioned in the Old Testament

C. irrigated agriculture

D. presence of clay tablets with cuneiform

E. dry, arid climate

Answers

Answer:

C & D

Explanation:

A presence of clay tablets with cuneiform was mostly likely looked at and there is a chance that's what makes the Mesopotamian civilization unique.

On the banks of the Tigris and Euphrates rivers in what is now Iraq and Kuwait, Mesopotamian civilizations arose. The Mesopotamian, Assyria, Egyptian, and Babylon kingdoms are among the most prominent Mesopotamia cultures.

The correct answer is:

C. irrigated agriculture

D. presence of clay tablets with cuneiform

The cuneiform script was produced by striking a papyrus tip or pencil into a stone tablet with a horseshoe tip. When the clay was dried to a slightly harder state, it provided a good writing surface, and when burnt, the notes printed on it remained everlasting.

Initially, writing was largely employed for documenting and retaining economic data. Although the absence of verbs in early texts makes them difficult to read with confidence, this tablet most certainly recounts deliveries and distributes of grain like barley and emmer wheat.
