The correct answer is France. France was a country that owned the 10 mile stretch of land that was necessary for the United States to build the canal. It did so in 1902 under the Spooner Act, and they paid 40 million dollars for it which was a lot more money then then it is now. After that, more negotiating ensued for other parts of Central America.

Answer from: cynthiakk

United States needed to buy right from France before building a canal across Central America and that Famous Canal is now known as ‘Panama Canal’.

Further Explanation:

Initially, when the construction of canal started, it was led by noted engineer, ‘Ferdinand de Lesseps’ of France and his work was to build a sea level canal. But, due to severe underestimation of the project and difficulties faced by workers in Panama land lead to personal losses in big numbers due to tropical diseases and corruption in political system in France made French government to rethink about this project and lastly this project was abandoned by French government.

The interest of United States in regards to this canal came after this project was abandoned and shut down by France. During the initial stages of this project, it seemed politically unfavorable as the people from government thought the canal site would not give them any gain, there were many reasons for not favoring this project and some of them were failing of French government and attitude of neighboring country Colombia towards United States with respect to this project. French engineer Bunau-Varilla wanted this canal project to be completed as he has invested his money and stake in the project which was shut down by French government but due to his extensive lobbying in U.S government and lawmakers along with support of people from Panama, U.S government agreed for the construction of Canal.
