Crisis of the Suez (oct 29, 1956 – nov 7, 1956)

Description:

The Suez Crisis happened in 1956 when Egypt took control of the Suez Canal, a crucial waterway. This made Britain, France, and Israel upset because they had interests in the canal. In response, Israel invaded, and Britain and France got involved. They wanted to control the canal again and remove Egypt's leader. The United States and the Soviet Union pressured them to stop, and eventually, they had to withdraw. The crisis showed a shift in power in the Middle East and the influence of the U.S. and the Soviet Union.
