SEPARATION BETWEEN PANAMA AND COLOMBIA

 Because the Colombian Congress ignored requests for commercial franchises for the isthmus, which frustrated Panamanian aspirations, a separatist movement emerged to turn Panama into a Hanseatic country under the protection of the United Kingdom and the United States.

This brought many disadvantages to Colombia, some as a delay in its evolution, loss of the economy and, among other things, due to the fact that too many boats entered Panama.
