Over Suez Canal issue |
Britain attacked Egypt in 1956 over the Suez Canal issue. The Suez Canal Issue was a crisis in 1956 when Egypt's President Gamal Abdel Nasser nationalized the Suez Canal, previously controlled by British and French interests. In response, Britain, France, and Israel orchestrated a military intervention to regain control, leading to international condemnation and geopolitical tensions. The crisis marked a turning point, with the United States and the Soviet Union pressuring the interveners to withdraw, highlighting the declining influence of colonial powers and the rise of superpower diplomacy in the post-colonial era. |
