The Nicaragua Canal

The Nicaragua Canal was a proposed major shipping route intended to connect the Atlantic (Caribbean Sea) to the Pacific Ocean across Nicaragua. If built, it would have been one of the world's largest infrastructure projects, providing an alternative to the Panama Canal. The idea was to boost international trade and economic development for Nicaragua. However, the project faced significant financial, environmental, and political challenges, leading to uncertainty about its completion. As of now, the canal remains unbuilt, making it a controversial and ambitious vision for enhancing global maritime connectivity.
