On August 12, 1903, the Colombian Senate voted to reject the Hay–Herrán Treaty, a pact signed earlier that year that would have granted the United States rights to build and control a canal across the Isthmus of Panama.
The Senate’s rejection blocked a diplomatic route for U.S. construction of an interoceanic canal and helped precipitate the events leading to Panama’s independence and the subsequent Hay–Bunau-Varilla Treaty that granted the United States the Canal Zone.
