The United States entered into the Hay-Bunau-Varilla Treaty with Panama in 1903. This treaty granted the US control over the Panama Canal Zone. The Hay-Pauncefote Treaty was signed with Britain in 1901 and revised in 1902. This treaty revoked the Clayton-Bulwer Treaty of 1850 and gave the US permission to build and manage the Panama Canal alone. The Gentlemen's Agreement was signed with Japan in 1907. This agreement was meant to resolve tensions between the two countries over Japanese immigration to the US. Japan agreed to restrict emigration to the US in exchange for the US allowing Japanese children already in the US to attend public schools.
