Answer 1

Roosevelt sent troops to support Panamanian rebels in their fight against Colombia because he wanted to get the rights to build a canal in Panama at a lower price.

Step-by-step explanation:

President Roosevelt sent troops to support Panamanian rebels in their fight against Colombia because he wanted to get the rights to build a canal in Panama at a lower price. Roosevelt negotiated with the government of Colombia for a lease on the land across Panama, but after the Colombian Senate rejected the treaty, he supported the Panamanian revolution. With the help of US military aid, Panama secured its independence and Roosevelt immediately recognized the new country and offered them the same terms he had previously offered Colombia.

Answer 2

President Roosevelt send troops to support Panamanian rebels in the fight against Colombia because he wanted to get the rights to build a canal in Panama at a lower price.

Option: C

Step-by-step explanation:

Roosevelt was the 32nd president of United States. He was elected in the year of 1933. He sent troops to support Panamian rebels in the fight against Colombia so that he can get the rights to build a canal in Panama at a lower price.

If that canal built in Panama then the natives of America will be benefited from it. It will be utilized in different ways. Trade, business and commerce of America with other states of America (intra state) and other countries (inter country) will flourished in a better way.
