Omar Torrijos
Omar Efraín Torrijos Herrera was the Commander of the National Guard of Panama and the de facto leader of Panama from 1968 until his death in 1981. Torrijos was never officially President of Panama, but he held titles such as "Maximum leader of the Panamanian revolution". Torrijos seized power in a coup and instituted a number of social reforms. Torrijos is best known for negotiating the Torrijos-Carter Treaty of 1977 which ultimately gave Panama full sovereignty over the Panama Canal. Two treaties guaranteed that Panama would take control of the Panama Canal after 1999, ending control of the canal that the United States had exercised since 1903. On December 31, 1999, the final phase of the treaty, America relinquished control of Panama. The canal and all areas were once the Panama Canal region. His son Martín Torrijos was elected president and served from 2004 to 2009.
