THE PANAMA CANAL
A canal is like a short river that is made by people. Boats use canals to travel between places. The Panama Canal is in the country of Panama. Panama is a small country in the southern part of Central America. The Panama Canal connects the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. It is a convenient way for boats to travel from east to west.
France began to build the canal in 1881. The work was very hard and dangerous. Many people died while building the Panama Canal. In fact, about 20,000 people died. Many deaths were due to disease. However, many workers also died because of the difficult work. The workers had to dig a huge path for boats, and they had to build giant walls to hold the water in the canal. These big jobs included lots of dangerous things that workers had to do.
France decided not to complete the canal. It was too difficult, dangerous, and expensive. France stopped working on the canal in 1891. In 1904, the United States decided to try and finish the job that France started. It took ten years of work, but the workers finished the canal this time. The first boat passed through the Panama Canal in 1914. It was a great success!
