Economically the United States of America would gain money as well as create jobs for the people of the country. This would be a great bonus for the country. The military of the United States would provide security to the ships passing through the canal, making it one of the safest routes through which ships can move. On the other hand, the major obstacle that stood in the way was that Panama was under the control of the country of Columbia. It would be the duty of the United States to make the country of Panama independent. I hope the answer has come to your great help.
