As possible sites for a canal, what do mexico, costa rica, panama, and columbia have in common

There are many things that they have in common. First of all, they are relatively close. Also, they are in contact with the Pacific Ocean, and also with either the Caribbean Sea or the Gulf of Mexico, which make them ideal for building canals for shipping routes. Also, they have been historically related because, even though Mexico isn´t part of Central America, the state of Chiapas used to be part of the Captaincy General of Guatemala, which also incluedd Costa Rica.

the crusades are one of the most significant events in the history of europe and the middle east.   they were a series of religious wars carried out by christian crusaders from europe during the timeframe of the middle ages.   beginning in 1095 ce, the crusades saw european knights and noblemen travel to the middle east in an attempt to capture the holy land away from muslim people that had controlled the region for the previous centuries.   the term crusade means ‘cross’.   therefore, the europeans that became crusaders viewed themselves as ‘taking up the cross’.   in fact, many of the crusaders wore crosses on their clothing and armor as they made their pilgrimage to the holy land.
