American and British rivalries in Central America, particularly over a proposed isthmian canal, led to the treaty.
Successive secretaries of state tried in vain to secure modifications that would enable the United States to build its own canal and exercise, under restrictions, political control over it, but it was not until 1901, with the Hay-Pauncefote Treaties, that this end was finally achieved.
