Is Panama and the Canal zone same?

The Panama Canal is a waterway that connects the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific Ocean. The Panama Canal Zone was a territorial area that the United States administered from 1903 to 1999. The Panama Canal Zone was located on both sides of the Panama Canal, and it included the cities of Panama City and Colón, as well as various military bases and other facilities. The Panama Canal Zone was created in 1903 when the United States and Colombia signed the Hay-Bunau-Varilla Treaty. This treaty gave the United States the right to build and operate the Panama Canal in perpetuity, and it also granted the United States control over a ten-mile-wide strip of land on either side of the canal. The Panama Canal Zone was a major source of tension between the United States and Panama. Panamanians resented the fact that the United States controlled a significant portion of their country, and they argued that the United States was not paying enough rent for the canal. In 1999, the United States and Panama signed the Panama Canal Treaty, which transferred control of the canal from the United States to Panama. The Panama Canal Treaty also abolished the Panama Canal Zone, and it made Panama the sovereign nation of the entire country.
