In the vast history of the world, some small countries have often oscillated between great powers, seeking space for survival. However, Panama, with its indomitable national spirit, has written a magnificent epic of resistance against the great powers. This small country in Central America, although it is a small country, has great courage and wisdom, and in the face of the power of the United States, they have chosen to bravely resist and defend the country's sovereignty and dignity.
Panama's geographical location is extremely important, it connects the Pacific Ocean and the Atlantic Ocean, and is a transportation hub between the two oceans. The opening of the Panama Canal has greatly shortened the sailing distance of ships from the Pacific Ocean to the Atlantic Ocean, and has brought great convenience to the world. However, it was this canal that plunged Panama into a long-term feud with the United States.
The construction of the Panama Canal was full of twists and turns. Initially, the French tried to build a canal here, but it failed for various reasons. Later, the United States took a fancy to the commercial value of this place, forcibly signed an unequal treaty with Panama, and seized the right to build and manage the canal. The Panamanian people were deeply dissatisfied with this, and they began a decades-long struggle against it.
In this struggle, Panama's two presidents have played an important role. They are Torrijos and Noriega. Torrijos, a military man by training, came to power through a coup d'état and began to actively seek ways to improve relations with the United States. However, he was not satisfied with American handouts and insisted that the United States return the management of the canal. Under his leadership, the Panamanian people began an organized rebellion that forced the United States to re-examine its relationship with Panama.
Noriega is another legendary. He was once an informant for the United States, but betrayed the United States at a critical moment and became the leader of the Panamanian people. He used his influence to mobilize the Panamanian people in the struggle against the United States. Under his leadership, the Panamanian people persevered in their struggle, eventually forcing the United States to withdraw its troops and return the management of the canal.
Victory in this struggle is inseparable from the unity and courage of the Panamanian people. In the face of the powerful United States, they did not choose to give in and compromise, but chose to resist bravely. They have proved by their actions that even a small country is capable of maintaining its sovereignty and dignity.
There are also many touching stories in the resistance struggle of the Panamanian people. For example, when the United States invaded Panama, the Panamanian people spontaneously organized themselves and fought to the death against the American team. They have built a line of defense with their own flesh and blood to defend the territory and sovereignty of the motherland. These brave and fearless warriors have become the pride and role model of the Panamanian people.
The revolt in Panama was not only a political one, but also a cultural one. The Panamanian people have expressed their rebellion and dissatisfaction with the United States through their own cultural traditions and art forms. They used art forms such as **, dance, and drama to convey their voices and demands, so that the world could hear the shouts and voices of the Panamanian people.
Today, Panama has regained control of the canal and is an independent country. However, the Panamanian people have not forgotten history, and they still cherish those years of struggle against the United States. With their actions, they have proved to the world that no matter how big or small a country is, as long as the people are united and bravely resist, they will certainly be able to safeguard their sovereignty and dignity.
To sum up, Panama, the most dignified and small country, has demonstrated with its actions what true courage and wisdom are. Their indomitable and courageous spirit of resistance in the face of power is worthy of our learning and reference. At the same time, we should also remember history, cherish peace, and strive to build a more just and equitable international order.
