⚡ How Teddy Roosevelt STOLE Panama to Build His Canal | The Truth About American Imperialism

November 3, 1903. President Theodore Roosevelt wants a canal through Panama. ONE PROBLEM: Panama belongs to Colombia. When Colombian senators reject TR's treaty calling it insulting, Roosevelt's response is ruthless — he engineers a "revolution," sends US warships to block Colombian troops, and within 72 hours recognizes a brand new nation that didn't exist a week ago. Latin America called it THEFT. Roosevelt called it DESTINY. 🌎 This explosive video reveals: The Colombian Senate's unanimous rejection that enraged TR How Roosevelt coordinated a fake revolution with French conspirators The USS Nashville's role in preventing Colombia from defending its territory The 15-day timeline from revolution to treaty that proved American manipulation Why the Roosevelt Corollary made the US "policeman of the hemisphere" Colombia's $25 million compensation that came too late How this single act poisoned US-Latin American relations for a century This isn't the sanitized history from textbooks. This is empire-building in real time — calculated, brutal, and permanent. Roosevelt reshaped the map of the Western Hemisphere to achieve his vision.
