Egyptian "takeover" of the Suez Canal? How does Egypt "take over" something in its own country? It belonged to a foreign corporation.

@PaleoalexPicturesLtd 2 года назад

In 1869 the UK did NOT control Egypt (the British invaded in 1892). The Canal was built by the French, and Egypt had a 46% share in the Suez Canal Company, while the French owned 50%. Only in 1875 did Egypt sell its stakes in the Canal to the UK in a desperate attempt to resorb its debt.

@Marwan-tx5nb 2 года назад

Egypt owned the majority share (46%) at the time of the opening of the Suez Canal. The other 54% were distributed among other shareholders (individuals investors; many where from France). That is why the French were furious when Egypt sold the majority share to the British.

@Marwan-tx5nb 2 года назад

Interesting facts: The Suez Canal company did NOT 'own' the Canal, it was on a 99-year lease that was supposed to end in 1968. When it was dug (by a 99% Egyptian work-force btw), Egypt owned the majority share in the Suez Canal company (46%). Being overwhelmed by British debt years, the King had to sell his shares to the British. The british ended up using the Canal as a pretense for occupation; protecting their property during a civil unrest.

Minor correction: After the revolution, the President of Egypt was not Nasser, but Mohamed Naguib, the leader of the "free officers" movement.

1. Egypt nationalization was long in the line of Middle Eastern nationalization of their oil resources and transportation network. Sauds, Iranians, etc. As with other forms of nationalization in the region, it was completely legal to do so. 2. Nationalization was aggravated because US and Britain pulled out of funding the Aswan Dam due to Egyptian arms deal with soviet aligned Czechoslovakia. Something that itself was prompted because Egypt was looking to arm itself against Israel, meaning it had to court an arms dealer that wasn't Western.

One slight historical inaccuracy---Britain didn't control Egypt in 1869 when the canal was opened; that did not occur till 1882. On the other hand, I am glad to see Soviet Russia's role in the crisis given the attention it merits, as that aspect is often overlooked.

@e.t.theextraterristrial837 2 года назад

Biased 1)Egypt took over something that already was on their land. 2)You did not mention why, Nasser decided to nationalize the canal. He decided to nationalize it because he wished to remain Non-alligned and maintain the sovereignty of Egypt and work on his plan for a pan Arab unity. Nasser wanted to modernize his defence and asked the US to sell Egypt arms. The US was worried that Egypt would use it against Israel and instead decided to invest money to build the dam mentioned in the video. As Egypt was Non-alligned and the US refused to sell Egypt modern tanks, artillery and weapons, Nasser turned to the Soviets. Eisenhower didn't like the fact that Nasser was also cozying up to the Soviets and decided to pull funding for the dam. Nasser then proceeded to nationalize the canal.

Ahmed Sadly you may be true.

Ahmed you already have let foreigners control your land

Ahmed Well, it’s unlikely the British will ever retake Suez, so him saying “never” is probably true, I interpreted him as saying “never again”, I mean it’s not like Britain is going to colonize any country again.

The canal was due to revert to full Egyptian control in November 1968.

@thCentury-rx9di 6 лет назад

Mark Harrison eh, they should have kept it until then, and even when it got to 1968, they should have still kept it and told Egypt to off itself.

LOL Suez wasn't 'built' by the British, typical History Channel propaganda. It was there since the 2nd millennium BC, the British only developed it. Totally hilarious.

Didn't the french build it?

The modern Suez canal was developed by the Ottomans, and the respective Egyptian Sultans in the past. the British did nothing noticeable, except occupying the canal, even your reference to the modern Suez canal, it was made by the Ottomans during the Napoleonic wars. Simply putting it, the British did next to nothing.
