Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This text covers the history of the Panama Canal. Beginning with its humble beginnings as a dream of Christopher Columbus, the text discusses the Spanish exploration of the New World, the West Indies, and the Caribbean. Discussing the early explorers such as John Cabot and Amerigo Vespucci, the author traces the ultimate success of Spanish explorers in establishing footholds in Central and South America, and the early relationship of the native populations with the mercantile ambitions of the newly arrived Europeans. The author explains how the lack of a sea-level shortcut between the Atlantic and the Pacific oceans led to the construction of the Panama Canal and the challenges involved in its creation.
