So much for that "special relationship". Another conséquences you didn't mention is that it drove a wedge between the British and the French as the British asked for a ceasefire without consulting the French. French politicians like De Gaulle would come to the conclusion that the British were unreliable as they would always follow America's interest first which lead to a search for new allies, mainly in Germany. This event defined the geopolitical relationship between the two countries as seen in recent events like the invasion of Irak where France sided against the US and the UK. And it helped push for Franco-German reconciliation.
The special relationship shouldn't mean standing by while one or the other bullies a weaker nation simply for saying no. And as the video notes, there were a ton of effects from the Suez Crisis, potential and realized, that would have been disastrous for the UK and the West even if the US sat it out or even cheered them on. It was a terrible idea from the beginning, and if the US hadn't so strongly opposed it, it would have been much worse.
Any correlation with events happening right now ( 2022) it's just a 'coincidence '! History is a repetitive "story" . Change the actors but the Hospital General theme is the same!
Hello there, I want to know if you will talk about Irak in the future. I mean, that country at first belonged to the British Sphere of Influence and the the US wanted it to fall into the USSR's Sphere of Influence instead of the Egyptian.
Some Soviet soldiers were told they are going to the Suez canal to fight the imperialists ... then they realized that they are in Budapest and that is the Danube, not the Canal.
i guess Im randomly asking but does anyone know of a way to get back into an Instagram account?? I was dumb forgot the login password. I appreciate any help you can give me.
@Dalton Jameson I really appreciate your reply. I got to the site on google and Im trying it out atm. Seems to take quite some time so I will get back to you later with my results.
People have to realize that this was a strategic move on the part America. Them threatening Britian and being on the side of Egypt guaranteed one thing and one thing only. That Britain and France would no longer have a foothold or a say in the middle east or middle Eastern politics. Since 1956, britian or France have no say in middle Eastern politics, only America and for a shirt time the Soviets. This was a political move
It was not a so great move. It put a resentment from France towards USA. French get out convinced that USA had betrayed them and that they would not prevent a soviet invasion of western continental Europe. it convinced France to play her own partition which leads her to leave the integrated command structure of NATO. i would recall that by 1956, by far, France had the strongest land and air armies in Europe for the western camp. France had 3 army corps in peace time, and 2 of them were in Western Germany. It was stronger than the german army and on apr with the US troops in Europe. Betraying her 2 best allies may have been a disaster if British had done as the French... fortunately for Eisenhower administration, Britain decided to be come the little doggy dog of USA and will never oppose to her master again. Statregically, the French leaving the command structure had a very scary impact on the NATO Allies... De Gaulle was anti-Communist and has never wished to sweap side West to the Soviets, but many, still nowadays are saying France had left NATO which is not true. France remained ally to NATO, just her army was independent. This move had in fact no true link with Suez, but France had created her own nuke deterrent force, and in the NATO status, she should have let the command of her nukes to USA. Unacceptable for a sovereign France under De Gaulle presidency. The best solution was to leave the command structure, which the americans been informed, De Gaulle had reassured USA that sure, french troops would fight any soviet invasion of western Europe. But the nasty of the thing is that US medias and politics lied (not truly a surprise, Iraq 2003 is on the same wave) and told everyone France was betraying NATO. Many years later, most soviet leaders and generals said that the thing which was the most annoying and most problematic was the french nukes. Because they knew the US/UK policy and the way to "play" or treat with, but these damned French were unpredictable... In all Soviet plans of invasion of western europe after 1966, they were putting France aside. The Czecoslovakain army which had for initial mission to destroy the 2 french army corps in Germany received order to avoid to fight the Frnech and at least to not cross the french border, at any price.

Lester got an airport named after him, so that's enough acknowledgement. plus isn't Canada suppose to be pro-British as payment for everything the Brits had contributed to the creation of Canada in the 1st place, hmmm?
@@joemammon6149 No, like with the Suez Canal, Canada sent troops to help ease tensions, whiched shocked the British and French since Canada never went against them before, and Canada has even after that, bt more political.

Alex von Tunzelmann has a very good recent book on Suez. Eden had an obsessive dislike of Nasser. Eden was hepped up on benzedrine most of the time. Seriously unbalanced. The invasion was brutal. The French Navy bombarded Gaza. The Israelis committed war crimes - massacres of civilians - in Gaza. The French massacred Egyptian civilian fishermen. The French passed on military nuclear tech to the Israelis. Essentially Israel acquired nuclear weapons vis the French at this time.
Brazil also had an important participation in the unfolding of this crisis, for those who do not know the story follows a part, I hope that the channel portrays this part as well: Suez Battalion From Wikipedia, Suez Battalion were 20 contingents of the Brazilian Army sent to the Middle East as part of the UN Peacekeeping Forces in the conflict between the State of Israel, Egypt, and its Arab neighbors since 1956. Created by decree of the National Congress of Brazil in November 22, 1956. he was part of the United Nations Emergency Force (UNEF I), operating in Egypt, along the Suez Canal, during that conflict and in later years. The Peace Force was created after the nationalization of the canal by Egyptian President Gamal Abdel Nasser on July 26, 1956, which led to the reaction of France and the United Kingdom, administrators of the canal region, who armed Israel to invade the Sinai Peninsula. , leading to the conflict called the Suez War. The Emergency Force began its activities in the region with a view to a ceasefire between the parties to the conflict, being integrated by forces from Canada, Brazil, Colombia, Denmark, Finland, India, Indonesia, Yugoslavia, Norway and Sweden. The first contingent of the battalion, called Precursor Detachment, composed of about 80 deminers, specialists in mine clearance, embarked for the region in January 1957 on a United States Air Force plane. The bulk of the battalion was transported to Suez on board the Brazilian navy ship Custódio de Melo, and landed at Port Said on February 4, 1957. The Brazilian forces were stationed near the city of Rafah, installing their headquarters in an old English fort near the city, close to the Gaza Strip.Its main mission in the region was to patrol the borders of the demarcation line between Arabs and Israelis and to clear minefields in the underlying desert. The battalion contingent underwent a troop rotation every seven months and was commanded, during the years of their mission in Sinai by lieutenant colonels Iracílio Ivo de Figueiredo Pessoa, Rui José da Cruz, Luís Dantas de Mendonça, Fernando Sotter da Silveira and Darci Lázaro, among others. Seven Brazilian soldiers died during the years of military presence at the site, between 1957 and 1967, six of them due to accidents and "friendly fire" and one involved in the exchange of gunfire between Arabs and Israelis in the vicinity of Campo Brasil, the military camp of the Brazilian troops in the region. A Canadian soldier was also shot by Brazilian soldiers when he was mistaken for a common invader. Approximately 6,000 men from the Brazilian Army took part in the Suez Battalion (5,000 in the State of Rio de Janeiro and 700 in Paraná, among other states in Brazil) during their ten years of presence in Sinai. The forces finally returned to Brazil on June 13, 1967, after the Six Day War. In 1988, the United Nations peacekeeping forces were awarded the Nobel Peace Prize - The Blue Berets of Peace.
interestingly the Egyptians would build a 2nd canal and build it in less than a year... they sure do know how to build and build fast.. thanks for the upload.
@@AhmedMahmoud-tv9vw No, it has did more ships an cross the canal now and in less time and industrial zone has been built around it and several tunnels has been made under the canal to help develop the sinai peninsula and if you watch muslim brotherhood and turkish propaganda you will propably see every thing bad in egypt which isn`t true
@@rivera229 After their last terrible India video I didn't expect them to talk about India's role in this event, or any event. It was very influential in building the non-aligned movement and shaping the politics of former colonial nations.

"What would be the most literal version of throwing someone out of power" somebody here doesn't know what Prague defenestrations were. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Defenestrations_of_Prague
One of the reasons the U.S. pressured the UK and France and Israel to leave the canal was because they hoped they would gain favor from Egypt and the greater Middle East. Instead Nasser would get all the credit and relations between the U.S. and some of its western European allies would worsen, possibly even being the main cause for no European powers backing the U.S. in the Vietnam war. Eisenhower would later admit that backing Nasser in the Suez Crisis was his biggest mistake.
LOL Trump should have reviewed Eden’s Administration in hindsight😂😂😂 By the way, I am a lifelong (48 yrs) resident of Baltimore but my favorite MLB team has always been the Blue Jays!!
"sail around all of Africa" well yes and no. Egyptians, Persians. And Romans had built canals that let you get to the Nile and then you can sail up it to the Med. But its not perfect. Or you could transport over land across the Sinai /Egypt but again imperfect. Much like the Chagres river acting as a proto panama canal
I know it’s been out for years but I started watching the Crown recently and the second season opener brought me here. Thank you for providing me with more info! (Sidenote: one thing I knew already about this crisis that I’m surprised you didn’t mention was how it strengthened apartheid in South Africa. Due to concerns a native-majority government could side with the Soviets and hamper the other route around Africa many western countries bit their lip dealing with the government in South Africa which probably was why it didn’t go majority-rule until after the Cold War ended.)
The last 3 minutes represents the distinct dimensions of your sister channels and yours.! Less and less jokes over time, the best channel you will become. ;) Respect!
My late aunt was a schoolteacher at the time of the War of the Tripartite Aggression. Even before the war broke out, all the schoolteachers and the secondary school students capable of bearing arms in her Cairo district-males and females-had undergone a military education course, including live firearms instruction using the Lee-Enfield bolt-action rifle. They were taught range estimation, windage estimation, and shooting at moving targets. They were also taught grenade-throwing, how to prepare and best use Molotov cocktails, and things of that nature. It was a very comprehensive course. Once the war broke out, teachers and students who had passed the course were issued rifles and ammunition to keep in their homes, in the event that the foreign invaders reached Cairo. They were expected to provide assistance to Egyptian Army, National Guard, and Police units in their area as needed. In the event that there were no local Army/NG/Police officers that they could receive orders from, they were ordered to resist invading forces at their own initiative, to the best of their ability, for as long as possible. After the war ended and the threat had receded, the teachers and students returned the firearms and ammunition back to the authorities. Nearly 40 years after the war, when I was just a teenager, I owned a 4.5mm (.177 caliber) air rifle. My aunt had just told me about the military training that she had received in her twenties. I asked her to show me. May Allah be my witness, she proved that she had forgotten nothing from that military training course. Even on a gusty day, she was able to estimate windage like a pro, and even with that weak air rifle of mine, was able to hit consistent groups on the target from both standing and kneeling positions, even at the extreme range of the rifle. Just imagine, a dignified lady, in her late sixties, in a hijab and long dress, having a great time scoring bullseyes, proud that she hadn’t lost her touch even after almost 4 decades, and telling me that she wished that she had a real rifle, so she could teach me how to shoot for real. Truly, it was such an impressive moment, and I’ll never forget this memory of my late aunt. May Allah have mercy upon her soul and grant her Paradise!
This video lost me in the first 29 seconds regarding oil "going into Europe", and a map at 0:10 showing it being shipped from India by way of the Suez Canal. India did not export oil to Europe in 1956, 1955, or 1954. Europe's oil came from the Persian Gulf (not India) which can be transported to Europe by way of the Mediterranean Sea (not the Suez Canal).
I like how Lest B Pearson created the UN Peacekeeper, and throughout the Cold War, peacekeepers managed to keep the peace and peacekeeping was the pride of many nations. It was only after the Cold War and into the late 90s-present, is when UN Peacekeeping became a joke. Due to poor management and incompetence of the UN, UN security council, as well as UN troops not being allowed to be heavily armed to keep the divide between opposing forces, plans are deeply flawed, and among other reasons. Edit:I am referring to long term and ongoing conflicts/border clashes, I do support the UN's efforts in building police forces and helping civilians in poorer regions and countries around the world.
I love keywords because they allow me to make researchers on validity of the discussion using other sources. The keyword i'm talking about is called Secret "Sevres Protocol". In Sevres France the three players; British, French, and Israelis planned to deceive the world as saviors (british and French) vs. Invador (Israel). I don't say more because that for readers to find out how evil politics can be even from so called civilized countries. Dont forget Picot & Sykes secret tready either. That's why US got upset at his allies and then, the the British can even drink a glass of water without US consent. I wonder if you left that out in purpose.
Before the Soviet Union and the United States intervened to end the war, President Nasser ordered the army to use guerrilla warfare tactics wearing civilian clothes in Ismailia and Suez and defend what remained of Port Said. No matter what everyone says, not all of Port Said fell in this war, and the Egyptian army realized that it was fighting a force larger than it, so the decision was to inflict the greatest possible damage to the point that British and French civilians rejected this war, as well as the fear that it would spark a third world war.
As u live in Canada do people there like Indians if so would they like an Indian Muslim because I am moving to Canada I want to know how the people there think of us I know this is way off the subject of video but this is the only way I could find a Canadian pls any Canadian out there pls say reply 😊😊 thanks for ur precious time
tldr: You should not have many concerns about discrimination and racism. You probably will have a few minor encounters with strangers not being open to those who are different. Culturally and politically, acts of discrimination and racism are not acceptable in Canada. Canadians, in general, get along with Indians and Muslims. You will not have issues with getting a job just because you are Indian or Muslim. Quebec though is another story as they have a very anti-religion stance and I have heard from the news that some Muslims living in Quebec are now considering moving to Ontario due to Bill 62 which aims to prohibit any public worker from wearing any religious symbols such as hijabs, crosses and etc. In addition, Islamophobia does exist in Canada, probably more particularly in Quebec but the Government is against Islamophobia and is working to counter these types of issues as they are not acceptable in Canada. My reply is just based on what I think and view with no actual data to back any of my claims. Politically, Canada is open to all humans of different nationalities, ethnicities, and religions. Immigration is one of the important traits of Canada to bring in new and more talent and help our economy grow. Immigration is one of the great sources of increasing Canada's younger population since Canada's birth rate is not high as we want it to be. There are lots of Indians and Muslims in Canada and are one of the fastest-growing communities in Canada. Generally, most Canadians are open to Indians and Muslims but there are some who dislike them, though they are a minority. I am not an Indian descendant nor a Muslim so I cannot speak much of their experiences in Canada. I believe it varies depending on where you live. However, from an outside perspective, Indians and Muslims are just part of our lives that we tend to get along with each other, work together in workplaces, and study together. Canada is a multicultural nation, so we are supposed to embrace other cultures and religions. We also love Indian food as well. I got along with Indians and Muslims no problem and most people do get along just fine. I also lived with an Indian Muslim for 2 years (who is also an immigrant) and we got along very well and he never expressed to me any issues living in Canada. There are some subtle racism that does exist so if you are unlucky, you'll encounter one. However, racism and discrimination against different ethnic and religious backgrounds are forbidden. I never heard of workplace discrimination towards Indians and Muslims but there are some stereotypes about Indians and just "Brown" people in general. Some view "brown" people (including by other "brown" people) to be suspicious and dodging taxes by lying a lot in their tax forms, being racist towards other Brown people because they are not from the same city or ethnic group as them (i.e. not a Punjabi or Gujarati), and work in low-end jobs such as cashiers, janitors, or call center support. In addition, there are some Canadians including East Asian immigrants who don't like how some Indian immigrants speak because of their accent and would prefer a call representative who doesn't have an accent (they don't care if you are Indian or not as long as you don't have an accent). Some other stereotypes about Indians are that they are very strict to their kids, smart, and are IT professionals as well. Though I am not sure if these stereotypes are considered harmful for the average Indian Canadians since I see them make the same stereotypes as well. There are some Canadians who oppose immigration because they believe they steal jobs but those are a minority and you should not bother with them because most of their claims are false. Being a Muslim in Canada can be a bit tricky compared to living in countries such as Malaysia when it comes to food options because a lot of Canadians are not Muslim so a lot of the food is not halal. I don't think it's a problem in GTA (Greater Toronto Area) but in other cities where there are not a lot of Muslims, it can be a bit tricky. Canada is fairly accommodating, with a lot of Universities increasingly are making prayer spaces for Muslims to pray and a lot of schools allow Muslim students to borrow a classroom on Fridays to do their Friday prayer. However, there's a sizeable amount of Canadians who don't like the practices of Hijabs and view it as a sign of oppression against females. Due to 9/11, attack in Parliament, and other attacks by extremists, Islamophobia has been rising (perhaps just radical islamophobia extremists) with mosques being vandalized. Most Canadians believe in freedom of religion and are against Islamophobia against the Muslim communities. You will probably encounter one or two cases of discrimination because of being an Indian, and perhaps a few cases because you are Muslim but these are not acceptable by most Canadians including by the Government and the vast majority are open to the Indian and Muslim communities. On something not related to your question and probably doesn't apply to you, Canada is probably a very different place compared to where you may have grown up in (assuming you grew up somewhere in Asia). If you are from another Western nation then this should not be too concerning because you would be quite familiar with them. In Canada, homosexuality is accepted, abortion is legal and we believe in equity for the most part. Traditional gender roles are not encouraged because we believe in females having equal rights as men and want more female representation in the workforce. In addition, marijuana is legal in Canada. This does shock a lot of immigrants including my parents because they grew up in a very different society where homosexuality is looked down upon and marijuana is outright illegal. You may encounter cultural shock because there are a lot of different ethnic groups and religions and may have views that may oppose your own views.
It's my believe and also knowledge that order of countries involved in this conflict was different. Israel first , GB and France both second simultaneously.. Israel was allways ready- militarily - for any Arab intrusion so they were able to act immediately. Israel was happy GB is not menshioning Beyrout hotel incident anymore. Interestlingly GB was unable to put any armed forces immediately and France was unprepared too. That was great opportunity for Israel to accept GB/RF offer to grab this chance. Theyr entry was really impressive .But nobody was ready for american response/Russian paws were involved too/.That was second time where US and USSR held the rope on same side despite the peak of cold war./The first one was official recognition of proclaiming Israel as new independent state by Russians as first country to do so / I hope my sources are correct because I was unable to get equivalent information from more independent sites/ So new actor on this stage, USA, having own plans in the Middle East and won. British and French were forced to skip plans to retake Suez canal ownership and leave/ actions of USA were strictly diplomatic . Israel had nothing better to do just go back home empty-handed.But this was first and also last time when USA and Israel were not on same side.Israel found new ' sugardady but not a new boss.
I'm surprised not to find the rest of my response. Someone cut me off/You may guess who and why/ . Thanks for Your likelines of my response to your article but You had to tell something relevant and You did it. One more time, thanks.m
Another miscalculation from Eisenhower, nothing new. Truman screwed it with the removal of MacArthur and allowing a stalemate in Korea, followed by Eisenhower compounding the cold war issue further with his centrist philosophy; backstabbing allies left and right.
He was compared to Hitler because the invasion was so fast, so it was praise. It is always a matter of context whether it is good or bad to be compared to someone in history. ... ;)
