00:00But who really has the Panama Canal?
00:02At the beginning of the 20th century, the United States wanted to build a canal
00:05to reduce the trajectory between the Atlantic Ocean and the Pacific Ocean
00:09which initially had a route of 11.000 km.
00:13However, at that time, the Panama was still part of the Colombian Republic.
00:17Since the Colombian government didn't allow the United States to build the canal on its territory,
00:23the last decided to help Panama to get independence from Colombia
00:27which ended up in 1903.
00:30A partir de 1904, the Panama confia the control of a large band of land of 18 km
00:36to the United States, allowing as well to build the canal.
00:40This land land was essentially an American territory.
00:43The United States had the area of Panama and the canal him-même until 1999,
00:49which they accepted to transfer both the canal and the area of Panama to the Panama.
00:54The neutrality of the canal is guaranteed by the treaty of Torrijos Carter
00:58who, since the Panama has no military force,
01:02allows the United States to intervene in case of threat against the neutrality of the canal.
