America built the Panama Canal in 1914

America completed the construction of the Panama Canal in 1914. It is considered the best example of American engineering. About 38 thousand American workers died while building it. At that time, 375 million dollars were spent in making it.

America had control over this canal for the next several years. After the agreement between America and Panama in 1977, the handing over of this canal to Panama started. In 1999 it was completely handed over to Panama.
