PANAMA'S HISTORY, as well as its present-day social, economic, and political life, has been dominated by the country's significant
geographic position. Encompassing the lowest and narrowest portion of the isthmus connecting North America and South America,
Panama has for centuries served as a land bridge and transit zone between continents and oceans.
Panama has been traditionally controlled by its tiny European elite, less than 10% of the population. That changed in 1968, when Omar Torrijos, a populist general, led a coup that allowed the black and mestizo [mixed-race] poor to obtain at least a share of the power under his military dictatorship.
