Question

In 1977, President Carter signed the Panama Canal Treaty which

A) renewed the U.S. lease on the canal until 2050.
B) placed the canal under the control of the United Nations.
C) turned the management of the canal zone over to Colombia.
D) set up the return of control of the canal to Panama in the year 2000.

Answer 1

The answer would be D) set up the return of control of the canal to Panama in the year 2000. This was done because the United States government viewed the Panama Canal as very beneficial to them, but not to Panama. This seemed unfair, hence the Panama Canal Treaty.
