Article is inconsistent on US involvement

The article starts off with "The Panama Crisis of 1885 was an intervention by the United States in support of a rebellion in Panama" (emphasis mine) and the US is listed as a belligerent on the side of the Panamanian rebels. However, the crises section states the following:

"The United States Navy was sent there to keep order, in light of invoking its obligations [to Colombia] according to the treaty being signed in 1846"
"...Rear Admiral James E. Jouett, was ordered to deploy to Panama with the orders to protect American lives and property and to ensure free transit across the isthmus of Panama, while respecting the sovereignty of the Colombian government"
"On 27 April a force of marines was landed in Panama City to help suppress rebels who had taken over the city when local troops had moved out to deal with a revolt in Colón"
"By this time, there was also a small force of the National Army of Colombia supported by a strong contingent of American troops in Colón"

This seems to imply that Colombia and the US were on the same side. So which is it? Compsig (talk) 22:25, 10 September 2024 (UTC)Reply
