Relations between the United States and Colombia suffered for many years because of an incident involving the Republic of Panama. By the end of the Spanish-American War in 1898, many Americans felt that an easier and faster way was needed to get ships from the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific Ocean. Some people in the United States first believed that a canal across Nicaragua was the answer. However, President Theodore Roosevelt decided that a canal through Panama would be a better choice.
In order to build the canal, the United States had to negotiate a treaty with Colombia, which at that time controlled Panama. Roosevelt offered Colombia $ 10 million plus $ 250 000 a year for 99 years for a six-mile-wide strip of land across Panama. Colombia rejected the United States’ offer. This angered President Roosevelt, and negotiations with Colombia ended.
In 1903, a revolution broke out in Panama. The United States ships were sent by President Roosevelt to protect the Panamanian revolutionaries from Colombian forces. The revolution succeeded, and Panama declared its independence from Colombia. The United States then negotiated with the newly formed government. A treaty was signed, and the United States began building the canal.
As a result of the incident, Colombia and the United States remained on bad terms for many years. Not until 1921, when the United States agreed to pay Colombia some compensation for its lost territory, did relations between the two countries improve. [br] According to the passage, the United States and Colombia were on bad terms because the United States had______.
选项
A、at first wished to build a canal through Nicaragua
B、promised to pay Colombia $ 10 million for Panama
C、wished to build a canal through Panama
D、supported Panamanian revolutionaries in their fight for independence from Colombia
答案
D
解析
文中第四段第一句说:“这次事件的结果导致了哥伦比亚和美国交恶多年。”由第三段我们得知,这次事件是指巴拿马的革命者在争取独立时遭到哥伦比亚政府的镇压,而美国派军舰对革命者进行了保护。所以美国支持巴拿马革命者为争取从哥伦比亚获得独立而进行的战斗是美国和哥伦比亚交恶多年的原因。
