![Page 12: Objectives: Examine what happened to Puerto Rico and Cuba after the Spanish – American War. Analyze the effects of Roosevelt’s “big stick” diplomacy](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649e8f5503460f94b93e13/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
What is an isthmus?
Panama is an isthmus. An isthmus is a narrow strip of land that has water on each side and connects two larger
bodies of land.
![Page 13: Objectives: Examine what happened to Puerto Rico and Cuba after the Spanish – American War. Analyze the effects of Roosevelt’s “big stick” diplomacy](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649e8f5503460f94b93e13/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
The Panama Canal was constructed between 1904 and 1913.
• The United States needed permission from Colombia, which owned the Isthmus of Panama.
• Colombia wanted more money than the United States was willing to pay.
• Roosevelt dispatched U.S. warships to the waters off Panama to support a Panamanian rebellion against Columbia.
• Roosevelt negotiated to lease the “Canal Zone” from the new Panamanian government for $10 million and an annual rent.

Working Conditions
Imagine working on the Panama Canal. By noon the temperature is about 100 degrees. It’s humid-so humid that after it rains steam rises from the ground and your clothes become soaking wet. There is no shade.
As one worker said, “There was no shelter from the sun or the rain. There were no trees, and when the sun shines, you get it. When the rain falls you get it.”
