Study Guide Panama Canal Social Studies, Grade 6
THE
PANAMA
CANAL
What
do
you
know
about
the
Panama
Canal?
The
Panama
Canal
is
located
in
Central
America,
and
connects
the
Pacific
Ocean
and
the
Atlantic
Ocean
(via
the
Caribbean
Sea).
It
was
built
in
the
early
1900’s
in
order
to
create
a
shorter
route
for
trade.
efore
the
Panama
Canal
was
built,
merchants
were
forced
to
travel
around
the
southern
tip
of
South
America,
which
took
a
very
long
time.
Work
on
the
Canal
began
in
1881,
and
the
Canal
was
finished
in
1914.
The
canal
was
originally
built
by
the
French,
but
the
United
States
took
over
the
construction
after
the
French
stopped
working.
President
Roosevelt
helped
Panama
become
independent
from
Columbia
in
order
to
finish
building
the
canal.
The
country
of
Panama
now
owns
and
operates
the
Canal,
which
cuts
through
its
lands.
Many
workers
died
during
the
construction
of
the
canal.
Disease
and
environmental
conditions
were
two
reasons
that
workers
did
not
survive.
The
Panama
Canal
was
controlled
by
the
United
States
after
construction
was
finished.
Eventually,
control
was
given
back
to
Panama.
We
still
use
the
Panama
Canal
today
to
travel
and
trade
goods.
Over
14,000
large
ships
pass
through
the
Canal
each
year
now,
carrying
goods
to
trade
or
people
on
travel.
