SUEZ CANAL CRISIS...

The Suez Canal Crisis is a war on Egyptian territory started after the nationalization of the Suez Canal by Great Britain, France and Israel against Egypt in 1956. Two years earlier, the Egyptian military had begun pressuring the British to end their military presence in the Canal Zone. There were many attacks on British troops because they were invading the territory of the Egyptians. It is accepted that violence was not planned, it was something spontaneous by people who had been treated as second class citizens within their own country.
In 1954 an agreement was reached.This stated that British troops would leave Egypt within twenty months of the signing of the agreement. The signing of this agreement ended the attacks on British troops.
The United States threatened all three nations with economic sanctions if they persisted in their attack. In December of that year, the British and French forces withdrew and finally in March 1957 Israel bowed to pressure from the United States.
