Why was the Suez Canal so important to the war effort?
Natalienicolefuerst
The Suez Canal was very important as it was a short way for ships to travel from Western Europe to India and the Far East. - Other than this they would have to travel around the cape of Africa, a journey of some 14 -18 days more.

∙ 7y agoThe Suez Canal made trade between Europe and India and East Asia significantly easier and more lucrative. Rather than having to take a ship all of the way around Africa, which was both long and dangerous (especially near the Cape of Good Hope), resources could simply move from the Indian ocean to the Mediterranean Sea.
As a result, control over the canal and shipping through it were very important in the Age of Imperialism because of the raw materials necessary for industrial production. Additionally, the use of the Suez Canal made the maintenance of Asian colonies much easier, with far shorter transit times between the colony and the metropole.
