Hi I would like to learn about Panama and its history, what can you tell me? 
 The US intent to influence the area, especially the Panama Canal's construction and control, led to the separation of Panama from Columbia in 1903 and its establishment as a nation. 
 Interesting. What else can you tell me about their history? 
 Spanish authorities had little control over much of the territory of Panama. Moscoso's administration successfully handled the Panama Canal transfer and was effective in the administration of the Canal. 
 Thank you. What can you tell me about their culture? 
 Hegemonic forces have created hybrid forms blending African and Native American culture with European culture. An example of undisturbed, unique culture in Panama is that of the Guna who are known for molas. 
 Wow I did not know that. What else can you tell me about Panama's culture? 
 Mola is the Guna word for blouse, but the term mola has come to mean the elaborate embroidered panels made by Guna women, that make up the front and back of a Guna woman's blouse. 
 Are there any other interesting facts about Panama you can share with me? 
 The United States government said Operation Just Cause, which began on December 20, 1989, was necessary to safeguard the lives of U.S. citizens in Panama, defend democracy and human rights, combat drug trafficking, and secure the neutrality of the Panama Canal as required by the Torrijos-Carter Treaties (New York Times, A Transcript of President Bush's Address n.p.). 
 Awesome thank you. I've learned a lot about Panama's history and culture. Have a great day. 
 You're welcome! Have a great day!
