The $1 Trillion Route That Could Spark WW3

Video summary:
The Suez Canal is a crucial man-made waterway in Egypt that connects the Mediterranean Sea to the Red Sea, significantly shortening the route between Europe and Asia. It was constructed between 1859 and 1869. The canal's strategic importance is evident from events like the 2021 Ever Given incident, where a massive ship got stuck, blocking global trade and causing an estimated $10 billion loss per day. Around 12% of global trade passes through the canal.

In 1956, tensions over the canal nearly led to war. Egypt nationalized the canal, angering Britain and France, who had major investments in it. This led to a military conflict involving Israel, Britain, and France against Egypt. The Soviet Union threatened to intervene on Egypt's side, escalating the situation to the brink of a global conflict. The U.S. intervened with threats of sanctions, leading to the withdrawal of the invading forces and de-escalating the crisis.
