Which continental South American country borders Panama?

great info!

At the turn of the Twentieth Century Panama was part of Columbia.

Shellback, crossed the equator from north to south in a ship.. cool.. me as well.. though civilian

RICK-N-BACHER, the separatists were supported by the US military, whose ships prevented Colombian troops intent on quelling the insurrection from landing in Panama - this is a textbook example of 'gunboat diplomacy' - Theodore Roosevelt was quite proud of his role in 'securing' Panama so the canal might be built. Don't forget the USA controlled the Canal Zone for a century.

Shellback, a separatist movement was supported by people who wanted to build the canal but didn't want to deal with Colombia, and the country of Panama was born and the canal eventually built

I would have never guessed that I thought it was Bolivia
