Clayton-Bulwer Treaty

Agreement between Britain and the USA to respect the neutrality of the proposed ship canal across Central America. It was signed for the USA by the Secretary of State, John Clayton and for Britain by the English diplomat and Liberal MP, Henry Bulwer.

The Clayton-Bulwer Treaty, concluded in Washington, DC, on 19 April and ratified on 4 July 1850, was abrogated in 1901 by the Hay-Pauncefote Treaty, which embraced the neutrality rule of the Panama Canal.
