31 Jan 1956 Jahr - Suez Crisis

Beschreibung:

- Egypt-USSR arms agreement (from the Lavon Affair) prompts US to cut funding for the High Dam Project, so Nasser then nationalizes the Suez Canal to fund the project
- This prompts the Triparite Aggression involving the French, British, and Israelis
- ends with a UN ceasefire and Nasser looks like a huge winner for exposing Western powers
