Construction of the Panama Canal was begun by France on January 1, 1880. The canal effort was abandoned in 1889 when disease and poor progress resulted in the loss of funding. The United States, under President Theodore Roosevelt bought out the French equipment and excavations for US$40 million and began work on May 4, 1904.
