The Suez Canal is and was used to for transportation of goods/supplies and people. When the Suez Canal was built, it was meant for transporting goods from South Asia to Europe. The Suez Canal was originally built by the French, but Great Britain bought it from them when it was completed and the canal became an important foothold in WWI and WWII.

The Suez Canal was viewed as the "Lifeline of the Empire" because it allowed Britain quicker access to its colonies in Asia and Africa.
