In the Suez Crisis, not all other ways of resolving the problem should have been tried first because it was a surprise attack on Egypt. The British did not try other ways of solving the crisis and did not try diplomacy with Egypt. The British took “prompt action” against Nasser because they feared that their power in the Middle East would be compromised because of him.” (Dooley) They colluded with France and Israel so that they would all attack Egypt and forcefully recover the Suez Canal.

A few examples of Canada’s efforts within the last 60 years include the Suez Crisis in 1956, the United Nations Mission for Rwanda from 1993 to 1996 and United Nations Operation in Somalia in 1992. One of Canada’s most successful peacekeeping missions was the Suez Crisis that occurred in October 1956.

The Actions of Three Great Men and How They Made Canada Stronger Throughout Canadian history, we experienced many events that made our country both stronger and weaker.
