Summary note
Gale Cengage's digitized version of the microfilm collection of declassified diplomatic correspondence between the U.S. State Department and the embassies and consulates within the country. They concern all kinds of matters, including commercial, political, and diplomatic topics of the period, including the role of U.S. citizens within the country, U.S. companies, and any U.S. agencies that had business there. The assessment of political and economic events is also included. The records document the finishing of the building of the Panama Canal (1904-1914) and the uneasy relationship between the United States and the newly independent Republic of Panama (est. 1903), since the United States controlled five miles on each side of the canal. The collection is also interesting because it refers to the Kuna Indian revolt in the 1920s, when the United States played a vital role in promoting the relative autonomy of the Kuna.
