Balance of power.
In 1956, Britain, France, and Israel launched a military intervention known as the Suez Crisis, aiming to regain control of the Suez Canal after Egyptian President Gamal Abdel Nasser nationalized it. The operation faced significant opposition from the United States and the Soviet Union, leading to a diplomatic crisis. Under pressure, particularly from the U.S., the invading forces withdrew, marking a significant decline in British and French influence in the region and a shift in global power dynamics during the Cold War.
Suez Canal
The Berlin Blockade was started when the Soviets blocked off the access roads to the city of West Berlin, which is surrounded by Soviet occupied East Germany. This was done in response to the secret monetary reforms being introduced by the 3 countries (USA, Great Britain, France) occupying West Germany.

The Suez Crisis, which took place at the same time as the Hungarian Uprising, was considered far more important. It was fought by Britain, France & Israel against Egypt October 1956. Suez Crises actually raised tensions during Cold War between US & Great Britain because Eisenhower did not want to be seen as a bully against a nation that probably could not protect itself.
