In what year did the Panama Canal officially open?

1901
1914
1920
1935

The correct answer is: 1914

The Panama Canal officially opened on August 15, 1914. This monumental engineering achievement was crucial for global trade as it created a new maritime route, significantly reducing travel time between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. The construction of the canal was a complex process involving numerous challenges, including engineering difficulties, tropical diseases, and political negotiations. The successful completion in 1914 had a profound impact on maritime trade, making it one of the most significant feats of engineering in modern history. The other years mentioned do not coincide with the canal’s completion, as they either precede or follow this key milestone.
