The 1956 Suez Crisis involved Egypt, led by President Gamal Abdel Nasser, and a coalition of the United Kingdom, France, and Israel. The conflict arose when Nasser nationalized the Suez Canal, previously controlled by British and French interests, prompting the invasion by the three countries. The United States and the Soviet Union played significant roles in diplomatic negotiations, ultimately leading to the withdrawal of invading forces and reinforcing Egypt's control over the canal.
In October 1956, the United Kingdom, France, and Israel signed a secret agreement known as the Sevres Protocol to seize control of the Suez Canal. This agreement was part of a strategy to regain Western control over the canal following its nationalization by Egyptian President Gamal Abdel Nasser. The operation, however, faced significant international backlash and was ultimately unsuccessful, leading to a withdrawal of the invading forces.
The Arab Republic of Egypt retained control of the canal, but was required to observe International Law in monitoring and directing use of the canal. Israeli forces occupied the Sinai Peninsula from early November 1956 to March 1957 before withdrawing under Eisenhower's peace plan.

This episode marked a significant shift in U.S. foreign policy, emphasizing the importance of diplomatic solutions over military intervention.
