Quick Summary

The Hull-Alfaro Treaty, signed in 1936, modified the earlier Hay-Bunau-Varilla Treaty between the United States and Panama. This new agreement relinquished the U.S. right to intervene militarily in Panama and to seize lands for canal-related purposes. The United States also increased its annuity payments to Panama for the use of the Canal Zone and agreed to construct a transisthmian highway. These changes aimed to address Panamanian concerns about sovereignty and the terms of the original 1903 treaty.12
