Suez Crisis in the Crown

Описание к видео Suez Crisis in the Crown

Suez Canal was the property of the Egyptian government, but European shareholders, mostly British and French, owned the concessionary company which operated it until July 1956, when President Gamal Abdel Nasser nationalised it—an event which led to the Suez Crisis of October–November 1956.
The United Kingdom and France joined the Israelis on 5 November, sought to regain control of the Suez Canal. Shortly after the invasion began, the three countries came under heavy political pressure from both the United States and the Soviet Union, as well as from the United Nations, eventually prompting their withdrawal from Egypt.
