The Panama Canal, built between 1904-1914, connects the Atlantic and Pacific oceans and was a crucial project for international trade. It allowed ships to travel more quickly and safely between oceans by traversing the Isthmus of Panama instead of going around Cape Horn. The canal was initially attempted by the French but failed due to disease, before ultimately being completed by the United States after it became necessary for fast travel between the two oceans. It opened in August 1914 and had an enormous impact on shipping.
