The 1956 Suez Crisis

14 min • 10 maj 2024

In 1956, one of the most important geopolitical events of the post-war period took place in Egypt.

Egypt nationalized the Suez Canal, one of the most important waterways in the world.

In response, a coalition of several countries tried to take it back. However, it didn’t go as planned, and it signaled a major reshuffling of the geopolitical order.

Learn more about the Suez Crisis and how it shaped the second half of the 20th century on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
