Guillermo Diaz Granados we don't rely on the US for a lot except for our monetary system which is dollars. We fund our canal and get all of the profits from it with no external intervention
It should be mentioned that at the time Colombia was in its largest ever civil war, between (surprise, surprise) conservatives and liberals, and in hopes to gain US support, each party competed on who would give Americans the most benefits from the canal. But meanwhile Panamanians were tired of being an abandoned province and as a Colombian, I gotta say they made the right move. They had a jumpy 20th century, but not as jumpy as ours, and are faring relatively better nowadays.
5:22 "The move is still decisive". Did you mean divisive by any chance? ;) Went to Panama few years back. The Canal is absolutely impressive, a massive feat of engineering...
Something important to point out is that the US compensated Colombia 25 Million Dollars for the lose of Panama, in 1926. That money was used to industrialize the country, double the total amount of railroads in 7 seven years, and triplicate exports. Yes, the USA was an asshole to Colombia, but that was realpolitik, but at least they payed back Colombia for what they lost, and they have helped us in our internal conflict and will help us in post conflict, and we are great allies.

Lester The Molester I mentioned that, and also, Plan Colombia is one of the few things that has got almost unanimous support on both of the main parties in the US, which is a good thing for both nations.
No Brony Ever Es correcto que esa fue una violacion de la soberania de nuestro país. Pero al menos dieron algo en retorno, que al final, ayudó al país, especialmente considerando que eso valía mucho más de los que vale hoy, cuando se ajusta a la inflación y también consideras que el país era mucho más agrario antes. El plan Colombia si has ido bastante efectivo, hasta donde se, y el tiempo está en contra de las guerillas aún activas, especialmente ya que las FARC están desmovilizándose. Eventualmente cuando ese proceso que se acabe, los Américanos no necesitarán tener que hacer mucho más en Colombia, pues ya no habrán problemas con la guerilla, pero tampoco quiere decir que la alianza de acabe. Si, los Americanos nos ven de algún modo como su patio trazero. La evidencia de eso es la Doctrina de Monroe. Pues es en el mejor interés de Estados Unidos mantener sus continente en su lado, o al menos no encontrar de ellos.
Just a Potato en mi opinion la soberania de la patria no vale apenas 25 millones y es bastante triste que que todavia no nos dejan reunificar la patria y reintegar a panamá. Claro yo soy un poco nacionalista y esta es solo mi opinion.
No Brony Ever Tienes razón, tú tienes tu opinión, yo tengo mi opinion. Los Panameños tienen su propia indentidad, y creo que tratar de anexar ese país no sería tan buena idea. Es imposible saber cuánto era el valor de Panamá en ese tiempo, pero otra vez, preferible ser pagados algo que nada.
You would have about 15 cents! To be more specific, you would have WW2 (France lost to Germany, but the people never surrendered! The resistance kept fighting as hard as they could) Sure, Panama, and then Vietnam, which France was probably right about.
Wampa on the top of my head Russia might have the best military record. the only war I can think of that they lost is the polish - Russian war, and technically ww1
It's all debatable yes, like I said SOME historians claim France, while I'm sure there's some that claim Russia , UK, etc... It really doesn't matter imo, all the European countries had their glory days, some longer than others.
The Scottish had the idea to build a canal way before all this, but when they got there they realised it was too hard. By this point they'd already sent loads of money, and their population, to Panama. The loss of this money and populace bankrupted the nation, causing it to seek further union with the rest of Britain and being a major driving force for the Act of Union
Ian R Close there were actually two main problems. First, as you said, the terrain was too much to build a canal through , and second, the Spanish weren't so happy to see Scots land on their territory and claim it for Scotland
I'm Irish-Italian American and I pity Scotland for coming so close to becoming an empire in order to remain independent from England. And although I'm also a capitalist I don't mind seeing Scotland independent from England someday either.
I'm panamanian and it makes me really happy to see my country in one of your videos, like no one ever talks about my country on internet (except for panama papers)
My grandfather was once the police chief of the panama canal. Once, he was granted the old copper plaques from a couple of the channel locks. We still have those plaques.
As a Panamanian, it gave good summary of what happened. Good video. Only that the riots of January the 9th was in 1964 not 1963 and that we are called "Panamanians" not "Panamonians". to this day, we are influenced a lot by the US. I'm pretty sure that we speak more English than the other Latin American countries and our currency is essentially the US Dollar with a different name.
For those asking if Panama was created thanks to the US. No, Panama was founded by the Spaniards in November 28th 1821. It later joined the Republic of New Granada (What is known today as Colombia). Thanks to the US intervention Panama was able to separate from Colombia.
thanks to the us intervention? we are the same people we speak Spanish, we have the same culture, we have the same skin. panama, colombia , venezuela, peru, bolivia and equador we are the same people and we will be reunited again under the gran Colombian banner, that was Simon bolivars dream.
The BBC documentary series "Seven Wonders of the Industrial World" has an episode about the Panama Canal. The rebellion in this video wasn't mentioned. Then again, it focuses more on the building of the canal itself, which was only skimmed in this video.
i love your channel not only to just suprise me with history facts that i din't know by also making me laugh . people sometimes think im weird by laughing at this but im actualy a fan-girl and no one is aware of it
No its not. We are culturaly dying, our infrastructure is colapsing, our education system is a joke(at least we have the utp), we have identity issues due to our brief existence and the latin inmigrants from the south; the panamenian is indiferent and ignorant to this kind of topics, he just doesn't care. Our country have very useful features in services, makes our lifes less difficult here in the capital, but if you turn around to the country side, the bredge between those 2 is outstanding. Panama is far far away from becoming a united strong nation, and thats the first step to really rely in ourselfs to conduct the country, and if you ask me, I don't even sure if that is possible.
@@elmerperez7350 chill bro he just say that Panamá is a wonderful country, obviosly it isnt perfect and has its problems like all latin american countries
additional facts (Panamanian here). when the students went to put the Panamanian flag, they where shot on site. that is what added to the hostility at the moment. the person how signed the original documents authorizing the Panama canal construction was not Panamanian, was Colombian. and finally there was a big part of our country where we could not enter, and if we did, we where looked as maids. now Panama actually expanded the canal so bigger boats an pass. during Wich only 7 people died (9 years) .
I lived in Panama for four years and after I went to Canada my brother wouldn't shut up about Panama, he sometimes said that Panama is 100% better than the country he was born in which was Venezuela....... LOLOLOOLLOOLOLOLOLOLOOLOLOLOOLOLolilol
i'm panamanian ,good video, Panama is a special country due the events sorrounding its creation and it's economy. And despite all those events, at the present time it is a country with it's own flag and anthem and a republic as well as any other.
+KnowledgeHub The "Día de los Mártires" was actually on 1964. You got that wrong. Nice video, though. Love your videos, keep it up. Greetings from Panamá.
America should have just marched down into Panama to retake the canal with the greatest, most frightening, and holy battle cry every devised by mankind... *DEEEEEEEUUUUSSSSSS VUUUUUUUULLLLLLTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!*
I am quite confused that the US didn't march down and take Panama for themselves. Considering the levels of intrigue they usually perform, it wouldn't exactly have been outside their reign of influence to find some excuse for it that wasn't "we want money".
Im panamanian, i have seen countless videos of the canal, i know the story flawlessly, why am i watching this...(tbh every time panama is mentioned i get unnecessarily excited and i just watch the video anyway)
with your constant 40k refrances ...have you thought of a video idea exploring the idea of how we go from here as a socicity to that of warhammer 40k? or maybe if an advance human race comes to bring us into a human centerd empire and reveals we are one of millions of lost cololines ? and the ramifications our world would go through xD
I'm Panamanian (it's not panamOnian). I like to watch the history of my country from other's perspective. the US didn't create Panama, they helped for their own interest, but helped non the less. for us Jimmy Carter was doing the right thing (remember that land had been taken from us without our consent, Panama was a puppet of Colombia and he helped us fight for our freedom... with discrimination along the way...but we are free)
I still think the Americans should've kept the Panama Canal. Hell, without the United States I don't think Panama would've been born. Speaking as a Panamanian, I'd rather have them then the Chinese we have today.
No Panama was already a country in 1821 and Joined Colombia after. They ways wanted independence but werent strong enough to do so. The USA was a godsend in that regard at least.
Ryan Herich and I'm not saying they didn't, just that it's hippocritical when americans say that europeans were evil when they used to interfere when the USA does it too.
croftyprojects they interfered for different reasons. Europeans interfered to build empires, oppress people, religion, and because they felt they "should" because they were superior. USA interfered because of economic reasons, money, and because of capitalism vs communism. Different reasons.
Fun fact: Phillipe actually sent us senators in the 1870s of mail stamps of a Nicaragua volcano that erupted frequently. These stamps helped the U.S. Senators turn to the idea of setting the canal in Panama.
Teddy Rosevelt really was a good president. Progressive for his time he really stands out in the American Presidents spectrum. What a hard nosed, fair and honest guy. Rough around the edges, but knew how to get things down.
Lord Trump he's such a disgrace even Democrats don't like him. I remember that when Obama became president he invited all the former presidents to take a photo with him and they kept Carter to the side slightly. It was so sad I even felt bad for him.
octoberboiy yeah some democrat senators even thought that he was being paid off by republicans in order to do such a bad job and thats why Ronald Reagan beat him so easily
octoberboiy Doesn't matter if you paid for it, the land is far stretched and obviously filled with Panamanian people. With that logic the Suez and other colonies should've stayed in the hands of other colonial power just because they paid for the infrastructure.
Well Im glad they gave it to us, after all is part of our country. They showed the world that the emperialist era was over. And every country has the right to own 100% its land. Always mixed feelings for those guys ~
TechplayTV whatever big ass country with a racist president, drug lovers and rapists. Your country is shit. Oh and dont forget your stupid imperial system
I gotta say, you're one of the best channels on youtube. Also please never do a face reveal. Or if you do, dint put it on the thumbnail. I like the mystery of it
I think it's a little too late for that, nobody in Panama wants their country to become part of Colombia again, and I don't blame them, the only way to have Panama back is a war, and Colombia already has enough of that.
You do realize we joined your unstable little empire on our own will, it was never yours we decided to join y'all because it was convenient at the time. Your economy was doing terrible and you were losing territory without Simon, so it was the right call to become independent.
Brendan Geormer to ease relations with panama? to erase the imperialistic image the country had? to make up for the massive oppresion and poverty panama endured during the US's stay in panama? for the two massacres thay happened in panama thanks to the US? the 1989 invasion and the 1964 incident, not to mention another incident that occured when the US built the railroad
5600 thousand people died building the thing. We helped win a war and create a country for it. At the very least we should get some of the economic benefits.
Alex The Chef+ America did everything legally. Only to get screwed over. We didn't break a single contract. Paid to use the land. Paid a yearly fee. It would've been better if Panama was just a province of the United States.
***** yeah when several Americans die to dig a canal and we help free panama from Columbia plus buying the land legally from the government and paying the the panama government money to keep the land Another dumb 3rd worlder not understanding logic
Jesus, I hate knowing even the slightest thing about other languages, because now I have to do shit like this: "It's pronounced [FAIR-dee-nahn də leh-SEP]." See, now I'm a dick. Linguistics sucks.
Hat21 they did get their objectives. At the end of the war when the US was dominating a peace treaty was ensured and this removed the blockade set up around USA by british navy which destroyed us shipping. The US went to war to end the blockade and adter the treaty they got it in the end. The US just didn't also get Canada as well. The United Kingdom got to keep their territory there.
The blockade was only there because of the war, of course the peace treaty would end it. The USA filed to push into Canada and the British couldn't push into America, it's hard to say anyone was dominating but it needs to be remembered that the Napoleonic wars where ending and more British forces come into America. The UK no longer needed to impress American sailors (again Napoleon being defeated) so that objective is achieved although not because of the war of 1812.
Did the US make back all the invested money it took to build the canal? You didn't say that exactly but you said it was an immediate help and big effect economically or something like that.
Sir Beatles as a panamanian i'm glad it happened after all im from here but the US just gave it away too easily and should have at least have some of their investments back
I was hoping you were going to talk about the initial plans being for a sea-level canal but with insurmountable difficulties the Americans changed it to incorporate a series of locks up to existing lakes.
As i remember from the history channel. the french thought malaria and yellow fever were caused by gases in the rainforest. U.S came in and basically "blow up all standing water". Malaria was wiped out.
Speak softly and carry big stick. Never speak and take out your war hammer.
???
best advice anyone could ever ask for.
I... uh... ok?
the Speak softly and carry big stick is Teddy saying. it means, to have a balance bettew diplomacy and war.
For the god emperor !
So Panama only exists because USA wanted to built a cannal?
Essentially yes. Even to this day it is largely influenced by the USA. It has no military of its own and relies on the USA for a lot.
Guillermo Diaz Granados we don't rely on the US for a lot except for our monetary system which is dollars. We fund our canal and get all of the profits from it with no external intervention
My country still wouldn't exist without the US. Is my main point. What you guys said is correct otherwise.
Antonio Pedro Pedrosa - No, because if Panama and/or France didn't, then there wouln't be one.
Yup.
It should be mentioned that at the time Colombia was in its largest ever civil war, between (surprise, surprise) conservatives and liberals, and in hopes to gain US support, each party competed on who would give Americans the most benefits from the canal. But meanwhile Panamanians were tired of being an abandoned province and as a Colombian, I gotta say they made the right move.

You're wrong... Panamá never was the cinderella... All of the other regions had same issues, as an outcome of centralism
@@charlieandersen4815 Wrong about what? When did I say the abandonment was exclusive to Panama?
@@mrpalaces anyway it wasn't an abandonment as such, the country was in bankrupcy because of the endless war, and couldn't fix inner issues
5:22 "The move is still decisive". Did you mean divisive by any chance? ;)
Went to Panama few years back. The Canal is absolutely impressive, a massive feat of engineering...
pixlplague they're going to expand it too
Ricky Rich already finished last year, and since i live there i've seen it and it's so damn wonderful
we should wipe panama off the map lol
we should wipe everything off the map.
How about NO? We very much love out little piece of land.

Yay I'm Panamanian, they finally talk about us! 🇵🇦🇵🇦
I'm a simple panamanian, I see Panama and I hit like, 'cause I was already subscribed.
If I had a nickel for every time France gave up...
You would have about 15 cents! To be more specific, you would have WW2 (France lost to Germany, but the people never surrendered! The resistance kept fighting as hard as they could) Sure, Panama, and then Vietnam, which France was probably right about.
Five more cents for the Franco Prussian war.
Fine, they lost that one also... Still, some historians will argue France has the greatest military record in European History.
Wampa on the top of my head Russia might have the best military record. the only war I can think of that they lost is the polish - Russian war, and technically ww1
It's all debatable yes, like I said SOME historians claim France, while I'm sure there's some that claim Russia , UK, etc... It really doesn't matter imo, all the European countries had their glory days, some longer than others.
This reminds me of King Henry. Dude wanted to get more women to have a son but couldn't divorce his wife so me made an entirely new church.

Jimmy Carter, the more I learn about him, the more I like him.

Whatever tiny ass country
TechplayTV You must come from a big shithole country.
TechplayTV whatever big ass country with a racist president, drug lovers and rapists.
Your country is shit. Oh and dont forget your stupid imperial system
I gotta say, you're one of the best channels on youtube. Also please never do a face reveal. Or if you do, dint put it on the thumbnail. I like the mystery of it
A symbolization of US Imperialism fragmenting America into enslaved environmental roustabouts.
Here we go, new video!
how to how to 101
nice vid cody
I'm early....
You clicked this expecting a joke...
Can you do a video abut the Metro games
time for Colombia to take back wats theirs
I think it's a little too late for that, nobody in Panama wants their country to become part of Colombia again, and I don't blame them, the only way to have Panama back is a war, and Colombia already has enough of that.
Jonathan Williams That problem is not as big as it was like 20 years ago, but yeah, we still need to work on that.
You do realize we joined your unstable little empire on our own will, it was never yours we decided to join y'all because it was convenient at the time. Your economy was doing terrible and you were losing territory without Simon, so it was the right call to become independent.
Shout out from a Panamanian~
Hola Cody!
Why did Carter have to give it up!
Brendan Geormer to be a good person.
Brendan Geormer to ease relations with panama? to erase the imperialistic image the country had? to make up for the massive oppresion and poverty panama endured during the US's stay in panama? for the two massacres thay happened in panama thanks to the US? the 1989 invasion and the 1964 incident, not to mention another incident that occured when the US built the railroad
5600 thousand people died building the thing. We helped win a war and create a country for it. At the very least we should get some of the economic benefits.
Alex The Chef+ America did everything legally. Only to get screwed over. We didn't break a single contract. Paid to use the land. Paid a yearly fee. It would've been better if Panama was just a province of the United States.
+Ryan Herich Because that's the ultimate matter on the world stage.
Love the new style
Funny how Americans and Europeans built the Canal and now a tiny nation controls such a useful canal
Compatriot and the tiny nation manages it better and even expanded it so american and european post panamax ships could pass through
LR Yamcha I see it's really working for them *thud*
Oh wait that's their economy!
Compatriot didn't your comment
Compatriot well the son of a bitch of our president managed to fuck it up these last couple of years.
***** yeah when several Americans die to dig a canal and we help free panama from Columbia plus buying the land legally from the government and paying the the panama government money to keep the land
Another dumb 3rd worlder not understanding logic
I believe at 5:23 you meant _divisive_, not _decisive_.
Jesus, I hate knowing even the slightest thing about other languages, because now I have to do shit like this:
"It's pronounced [FAIR-dee-nahn də leh-SEP]."
See, now I'm a dick. Linguistics sucks.
Mephostopheles Yeah, I understand you, bro. I know how Spanish, French, Japanese, and some Chinese is pronounced, so just imagine how triggered I am.
My teacher talked a little about this today and this shows up in my recommened. that's amazing xD
knoowwllleddgggge hub
Hey um Cody when are you doing to make a one million sub video on you main channel? Please
Please do if the British won the war of 1812!!!!!No I mean if the British won
Not Usa
They did win. The US declared the war and didn't get its objectives.
ThatIndianaFan TIF XD the British did do you mean the us?
ThatIndianaFan TIF
but they did...
Hat21 they did get their objectives.
At the end of the war when the US was dominating a peace treaty was ensured and this removed the blockade set up around USA by british navy which destroyed us shipping. The US went to war to end the blockade and adter the treaty they got it in the end. The US just didn't also get Canada as well. The United Kingdom got to keep their territory there.
The blockade was only there because of the war, of course the peace treaty would end it.
The USA filed to push into Canada and the British couldn't push into America, it's hard to say anyone was dominating but it needs to be remembered that the Napoleonic wars where ending and more British forces come into America.
The UK no longer needed to impress American sailors (again Napoleon being defeated) so that objective is achieved although not because of the war of 1812.
Hey Cody, what you're option on Jimmy Carter's decision?
Damn im early better make a joke
President Donald Trump
What's the joke?
You're not funny.
Cisco Blue stupid shit like this got him elected
+Sam Grzelachowski
What, you don't think the very idea of a hotshot playboy becoming president is funn- Oh shit...
Here's a better joke
Hilary's credibility
Did the US make back all the invested money it took to build the canal? You didn't say that exactly but you said it was an immediate help and big effect economically or something like that.
Who thinks I should give $25 to support Cody on Patreon?
Zach Hibbard do it unless your a coward
Just did it, your turn
Hi dude love your vids
So basically, 'Merica wanted it so 'Merica got it. Imperialism through and through.
Nicolas Cerón M. Your saying that like its a problem...
Welcome to being a world power 101, no one can say no to you and you not getting what you want
@Rising Horizon Gaming Have fun with that
I think you meant "the move is divisive" rather than decisive.
What are your thoughts on the Torrijos-Carter treaty?
Well it benefits my country, why not? xd
Sir Beatles as a panamanian i'm glad it happened after all im from here but the US just gave it away too easily and should have at least have some of their investments back
LR Yamcha The had it for some 86 years operating. If that is not enough time for simple payback; it was not worth building it in the first place.
Am I the only one who like knowledge hub a little better than alternate history
That was the USS Missurie? 4:03
A man, a plan, a canal, Panama
I was hoping you were going to talk about the initial plans being for a sea-level canal but with insurmountable difficulties the Americans changed it to incorporate a series of locks up to existing lakes.
As i remember from the history channel. the french thought malaria and yellow fever were caused by gases in the rainforest. U.S came in and basically "blow up all standing water". Malaria was wiped out.
Watching your earlier videos Cody, really shows how your voice has changed
What is your opinion on the panama canal?
The january 9th events started on january 9th, 1964. just a little correction. Greetings from Panama!
