Question

Did the united states give the panama canal back to panama? Wehn and Why?

Answer 1

Yes, the canal was given back to Panama in 1999, rightfully so through a treaty made by President Carter.  Carter did it to boost and improve relations with latin american countrties.  Here is a brief summary I found on a great site - see link below:  On September 7, 1977, General Omar Torrijos of Panama embraced President Jimmy Carter and, with tears in his eyes, thanked him for his kindness toward the people of his country. The two heads of state then walked into the chamber of the Organization of American States and, before an audience of eighteen presidents and the international news media, signed a pair of treaties in which the President agreed to give up the Panama Canal, one of America’s most historically prized possessions, to the nation in which it was built. Carter defied domestic public opinion in an attempt to revolutionize his country’s relationship to the Third World, and he opened a new chapter in the history of a wonder of modern technology.

Answer 2

Yes, the canal is back in Panamanian control as of 1999 because the Panamanians were mad that it belonged to the Americans in 1970 and forced a negotiation. Ronald Reagan thought we'd s***w it up. Boy was he wrong.
