An Era of European Imperialism
A canal is an artificial waterway used for navigation or irrigation. A canal can link two or more bodies of water or create a passageway over a strip of land. In the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, Americans and Europeans planned the construction of three major canals—the Erie Canal in New York, the Suez Canal in Egypt, and the Panama Canal in Panama. These projects were more than engineering marvels. They represented the cultural and political theories of their time.
