Panama, officially the Republic of Panama, is a country in Central America. It is bordered by Costa Rica to the west, Colombia to the southeast, the Caribbean Sea to the north, and the Pacific Ocean to the south.[1]

History

In 1671, British buccaneer Henry Morgan violated the Treaty of Madrid which had ended the Anglo-Spanish War, by capturing Panama City, looting it[2] and burning it to the ground,[3] in the process claiming the lives of a thousand Spanish soldiers.[2] Dutch buccaneer Laurens Prins[4] played a pivotal role during the raid, for which he was roundly celebrated.[5][6]

By 1739, the British and Spain were once again in conflict, and, starting in 1741, Lawrence Washington saw action in expedition against a number of Spanish colonies, including Panama.[7]

In 2013, the city of Portobelo was used as a simulated location created by Abstergo Industries' entertainment branch, for the console stage of their Animus technology.[8]
