'''Canals''' are a way to bridge the gap between two seas. In Victoria 2 they can be built by a great power by enacting a [[decision]]. A canal makes it possible to sail through the province with ships and the nation which builds it annexes the relevant province. All ships can sail through the canal and it is not possible to prevent others from using it by other means than a blockade during war. 

All decisions to build a canal generate a news bulletin.

'''The Panama Canal''' is a canal that can be constructed between the Atlantic and Pacific oceans through the Panama province. Panama is initially owned by {{flag|Colombia}}.

====Potential:====
* This canal has not been built already
* Is a [[Great Power]]
* Has researched [[Mechanical Production]]
====Allow:====
* Owns province Panama, or has Panama's owner in [[sphere of influence]]
* Has invented [[Machine Tools]] ([[Interchangeable Parts]]), [[Nitroglycerin]] ([[Inorganic Chemistry]]) and [[Prophylaxis against Malaria]] ([[Medicine]])
* Has researched [[Iron Steamers]]

====Effect:====
* Annex province Panama
* Build the canal
* Gain {{icon|prestige}} {{green|10}} Prestige
The AI will always take this decision, unless at war.

== Suez Canal ==

'''The Kiel Canal''' is a canal that can be constructed between the Baltic Sea and the North Sea. Kiel is initially owned by {{flag|Holstein}}. Unlike the other canals, building the Kiel Canal requires the province to be owned directly.

====Potential:====
* This canal has not been built already
* Owns province Kiel
* Is a [[Great Power]]
* Has researched [[Mechanical Production]]
====Allow:====
* Has invented [[Machine Tools]] ([[Interchangeable Parts]]) and [[Nitroglycerin]] ([[Inorganic Chemistry]])
* Has researched [[Iron Steamers]]
====Effect:====
* Build the canal
* Gain {{icon|prestige}} {{green|5}} Prestige
The AI will always take this decision, unless at war.
