Tomás Herrán
Tomás Herrán was a Colombian diplomat and politician, best known for his role as the representative of Colombia in the negotiation of the Herrán-Hay Treaty with the United States in the early 20th century. This treaty aimed to grant the United States the rights to construct and control a canal through Panama, a strategic passage that was sought after for its potential to connect the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. However, the treaty faced significant opposition and was ultimately rejected by the Colombian Congress, which contributed to rising tensions and sentiments for Panama's independence from Colombia.
