Answer:
"President Roosevelt" supported the rebels in "Panama" when they declared independence from Colombia as the rebels promised him to provide labourers to the "United States" who would help to build the "Panama Canal". "Roosevelt" sent "troops" to support the rebels so that Colombia would give the rights to "build the canal" to United States which would lead to the country's development. With United States' support Panama subsequently got Independence from Colombia.
