Construction of the Panama Canal (Spanish Language)
Construction of the Panama Canal is tasked with navigating a complex geopolitical crisis involving the United States, Colombia, Panama, and Nicaragua. At the heart of the dispute lies the construction of the Panama Canal, a monumental engineering project that promises to reshape global trade routes and geopolitics. The United States, eager to secure control over the canal’s construction and operation, faces resistance from both Colombia and Nicaragua, each with their own claims to the land and strategic interests in the region. Meanwhile, Panama, seeking independence from Colombia, sees an opportunity to gain sovereignty and forge a partnership with the U.S. in exchange for control over the canal zone. Tensions rise as negotiations falter, and each nation’s motivations and concerns come to the forefront. Colombia demands compensation for the loss of Panama, while Nicaragua worries about its own strategic relevance in the region. The United States, meanwhile, is determined to complete the canal to strengthen its global influence and maintain access to critical shipping routes. With competing national interests at stake, the committee is tasked with finding a delicate balance—how can the canal’s construction proceed without igniting further conflict in Central America? As delegates gather to address the crisis, they will engage in high-stakes negotiations, considering issues of territorial sovereignty, international diplomacy, and the long-term impact of the canal on the region. The outcome of this committee could alter the balance of power in Latin America, reshape U.S. foreign policy, and leave a lasting legacy on global trade. Will a peaceful resolution be found, or will the competing claims lead to further instability? The decisions made in this committee will determine the future of the Panama Canal and the relationships between these key nations.
