President Theodore Roosevelt aided Panama in its revolution to separate from which Latin American nation?

Venezuela
Nicaragua
Colombia
Costa Rica
Ecuador

Explanation

Answer: C - In 1903, when the United States could not reach an agreement with Columbia over canal-building rights in the Isthmus of Panama, President Theodore Roosevelt changed course and aided a Panamanian revolution to secede from Columbia. The following year, after the revolution succeeded, the United States reached an agreement with Panama that allowed them indefinite rights to the Isthmus of Panama so that they could build and continually operate the Panama Canal.
