President Ronald Reagan, One Giant Leap: 1975-1982 [1]
The Panama Canal Zone is an unincorporated territory of the United States surrounding the Panama CanalW.
History[]
First established in 1903, the military bases in the Zone help protect American interests in the canal, such as the transit of Sea Dragon rockets from Cape Kennedy to their launch sites near GuamW. American control of the zone was contested by nationalist Panamanians, who viewed the American occupation as illegal.
After his election in 1977, American President Ronald Reagan reversed the conciliatory policies of his predecessor, Ted Kennedy, and signaled his unwillingness to negotiate over the Canal Zone. In response, anti-American riots gripped the country, and Panamanian dictator Omar Torrijos, aligned Panama with the Soviet Union. [1]
