The Suez Canal.
The Suez Canal provided Britain with a shorter sea route to its empire and, as the 20th century dawned and oil grew in importance, it provided a short sea route to the oilfields of the Persian Gulf. Britain was therefore committed to protect the canal.
no...Europe and Asia
There is no designated route around China to Europe. Ships either sailed across the Mediterranean to the Middle East, where they then went on foot towards China, or ships sailed all the way around Africa to get to China. However, new routes formed as history went on, such as sailing across the Atlantic, around South America, and then across the Pacific. Canals were eventually created to make distances shorter, too, such as the Panama Canal and the Suez Canal. The two most important routes were most likely the route around Africa and the formation of the Suez Canal. The route around Africa was founded by the Portuguese explorer Vasco de Gama. The French built the modern Suez Canal.

The city is Port Said, which is an Egyptian city at the northern end of the Suez Canal, on the Mediterranean Sea. From the Suez Canal, shipping would enter the Red Sea.
