The Suez Canal crisis of 1956 resulted in a significant shift in geopolitical power in the Middle East. Following Egypt's nationalization of the canal, a military intervention by Britain, France, and Israel aimed to regain control but was met with international condemnation, particularly from the United States and the Soviet Union. The crisis ended with a ceasefire and the withdrawal of foreign troops, leading to increased Egyptian sovereignty and a decline in British and French influence in the region. Ultimately, the event marked a turning point in post-colonial dynamics and the rise of the United States and the Soviet Union as dominant superpowers in global affairs.
The Suez Canal opened in November 1869. The date is unknown.
