Scenarios about 'panama canal'
The Panama Canal is a 50-mile artificial waterway connecting the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, completed in 1914 after a decade-long American engineering effort. This strategic maritime shortcut eliminated the need for ships to navigate around South America, revolutionizing global trade by reducing voyage distances by thousands of miles and transforming geopolitical relationships in the Western Hemisphere.
