The canal was necessary so that ships could cross from the Atlantic to the Pacific without circumnavigating the tip of South America, which is what they did before. It was a very long and arduous detour.
The original planned site was Nicaragua. A certain lake took up more than have the width of the country, but they had to scrap that plan because there was an active volcano nearby.
We would not need the canal so much today because now we travel around in airplanes.

This is just what I have so far. Maybe this can help....
Also, people should stop being so rude! First off, this isn't homework, it's class work. Secondly, I would like to you try to do it on your own!!! This is for a grade and this person is just trying to make a decent one unlike you other snobs.

I know this was posted 7 years ago, but people don't need to be so rude and tell you to "do your homework" I know exactly what you're talking about because we're watching that same film and filling out the same questions you were 7 years ago today. The film is quite hard to follow along with..
