Hi, Esha. In your research on this canal, did you see anything on the Interoceanic Corridor of the Isthmus of Tehuantepec in Mexico? That project (or at least the idea of it) is old, too. It may or may not be relevant to your work right now but I remember reading that it was supposed to rival the Panama Canal and there was a lot of noise being made about it by AMLO along with opposition from Native folk who say they don't want or need it. It's being done for the same reasons as the proposed one in Nicaragua but with trains.
Thank you for this information. Because of all the information I have been given, I should probably try a follow-up article about this and the Nicaraguan canal
Look at: How Wall St. Created a Nation (by Espino). Some great research and detail because he had access to JP Morgan's personal library. Especially important: the role of William Nelson Cromwell and Senator Mark "Dollar" Hanna (Ohio) chair of the Republican Party. T. Roosevelt's brother-in-law was also rumored to be a member of the Morgan-Cromwell syndicate. Phillipe Bunau-Varilla's wife designed the Panamanian flag and he wasn't even a Colombian/Panamanian.
The role that JP Morgan played in the imperialist intervention is nearly ignored in this account as is the decision by Congress to abandon the original plan to build a canal in Nicaragua.

Thank you! I will follow up.

Maybe a separate article on the Nicaragua decision is warranted. Your criticism is valid.
The original surnames of some Israeli presidents and prime ministers before they changed them are as follows:
David Ben-Gurion (born David Grün)
Yitzhak Ben-Zvi (born Isaac Shimshelevich)
Moshe Sharett (born Moshe Chertok)
Golda Meir (born Golda Mabovitch)
Shimon Peres (born Szymon Perski)
Benjamin Netanyahu (born Benjamin Mileikowsky)
Ehud Barak (born Ehud Brog)
Menachem Begin (born Mieczysław Biegun)
Yitzhak Shamir (born Yitzchak Yezernitsky)
Levi Eshkol (born Levi Shkolnik)
I am slightly confused. What is this in relation to?
Nothing in particular - just little known curiosity
Ha i see what you did there :- birthing canal. :-D
