To travel from India to England by ship takes about 22 days if traveling around the continent of Africa. It the Suez Canal is taken, that can take about 10 to 12 days off the trip.
The Suez Canal greatly aided Western imperialism. Before the canal was built,ships trading with Asia had to travel around the southern tip of Africa. By connecting theMediterranean Sea and Red Sea, the canal significantly reduced the sailing time from Europe totrading destinations in the East. For example, the map shows that the canal reduced the trip from London to Mumbai, India, by 5,100 miles (8,200 km). Also, the canal helped to increase foreigncontrol of Egypt. Europeans made high-interest loans to the ruler of Egypt for building the canal and other projects. When the Egyptian ruler could not repay the loans, the British bought his shares of the canal, gaining controlling interest.
