The opening of the Suez Canal in 1869 significantly enhanced Britain's maritime trade and imperial reach by providing a faster route to India and other parts of Asia. It facilitated the movement of goods and troops, solidifying Britain's dominance in global trade. The canal's strategic importance also led Britain to increase its military presence in Egypt, ultimately resulting in the occupation of the country in 1882 to secure control over this vital trade route.
