Ø Egypt nationalized the Suez canal, which was legal according to international law.
Ø The oil that shipped through the Suez canal is vital to UK and France’s economy Ø Tory government was reluctant to cede British imperial control. The French were angry over Nasser’s support for the Algerians in the ongoing war there. Israelis feared Nasser’s growing popularity in the Arab world and wanted him removed from power before he could unify the Arabs and possibly form a united front to attack them Ø Israel occupied the Sinai Peninsula and stopped before reaching the canal. UK and France bombard Egyptian airfield and parachute forces along the canal to “stop the war between Israel and Egypt.” Ø Nasser argued that this military coalition shows that UK and France still have imperialist designs to the arab world. Despite his military defeat, he became the most popular men in the Arab world Ø Soviet Union gained popularity by supporting Egypt. The news also drew attention away from Soviet Union’s Brutal suppression of the 1956 Hungarian Revolt. Ø US made Isreal to return land to Egypt by threatening to cut off economic aid |
