Britain and France called off their invasion of Egypt due to intense international pressure, particularly from the United States and the Soviet Union, during the Suez Crisis of 1956. The U.S. threatened to withhold financial support and imposed economic sanctions, which put significant strain on the British economy. Additionally, the prospect of a broader conflict in the Cold War context made both nations reconsider their military actions. Ultimately, the withdrawal marked a significant shift in global power dynamics, signaling the decline of colonial influence in the region.
