About this ebook

What were the causes and consequences of the Suez Crisis, and how did it change the Middle East? This book examines the Suez Crisis of 1956, a diplomatic and military conflict between Egypt, Israel, Britain, and France, triggered by Egypt’s nationalization of the Suez Canal. It discusses the strategic importance of the canal, the role of major powers such as the United States and the Soviet Union, and the military operations launched by Israel, Britain, and France. The narrative also explores the global political consequences of the crisis, including the decline of British and French influence in the Middle East and the rise of the United States and the Soviet Union as superpowers capable of shaping global diplomacy. By analyzing the impact of the Suez Crisis on the Middle East, the book highlights its significance in the context of Cold War geopolitics and the reshaping of post-war international relations.
