General Torrijos presided over a vital period of his country's history that saw the end of the United States rule in the Canal Zone. His dream of a social-democratic Central America that could offer hope for her peoples without presenting a Communist challenge to the Unites States was to be an inspiration and source of help for those fighting in Nicaragua and El Salvador against brutal dictatorships.
