The Defense Of The Suez Canal

The Suez Canal is the shortest waterway between the east and the west due to its unique location. It is the longest waterway without locks, this means that all the bodies of water are at the same level. Opened in 1869 after 10 years of work, it is liable to be widened and deepened to accommodate the big developed ship.

The first specially made tank destroyer of WWII for America was the M18 Gun Motor Carriage, which started mass production in 1943, as opposed to a modification to an existing hull. Many such Vehicles were made for WWII. There are different purposes for militant vehicles such as the Hellcat (the M18 GMC), the Guy Armored Car, and the SU-76, each of which had a different role and job.

Egypt was a strategic importance in World War II for numerous reasons. Exults location was a go to between Africa, Asia, and Europe. With a world wide conflict the control of Egypt was an insurance of communication lines being effective with important air and sea courses. The Ceuz Canal was important because it provided a shorted path for directing troops and material between Europe and Pacific theaters.

Tanks were first used in World War 1. Since it was so new it was very unreliable but it still did a great deal. The top speed of the tank was 4 mph. At first it was known as the Battle of Flers. The main supporter of the tank was Lieutenant- Colonel Ernest Swinton. We still use tanks in our Military today. Without these new weapons for World War 1 the whole war would be different.

Great Britain wanted to control Suez Canal for many reasons. Suez Canal was a waterway made directly from man. It that went through the Isthmus of Suez. The canal became more popular after Muhammad Ali, a common soldier who rose to leadership, turned his efforts to colonize Egypt to his grandson, Isma’il. This man supported the Suez Canal and brought it to people's attention for great use. The canal was initially designed by a man named Ferdinand Lesseps in 1869.

The Battle of Megiddo was an important battle in Egypt’s history. The stuff I will be writing is some facts but also a lot of fiction because I wasn’t actually there when it happened and this isn’t the “Magic Tree House”. Also I can not actually travel back in time to when this happened so enjoy the story.

Long before World War II ever began, Britain and Egypt had a rich history. Though they had been linked through trade for some time, it wasn’t really until the eighteenth century that Egypt piqued Britain’s interest as a potential control. The French, lead by Napoleon, landed an army in Egypt in 1798, but were quickly defeated by the British and Turkish in 1801. Though Britain did not gain control of Egypt then, they ended up occupying the country in the late nineteenth century.

Before guns, they used swords and other up close and personal weapons such as the bow and arrow, spears, shields and slings. Other weapons used were also the catapult, trebuchets and archer fires. These days, as technology has hugely shaped warfare, soldiers use high tech equipment and weapons in the battlefield. Weapons mainly used today are machine guns, stealth aircrafts and nuclear weapons. Weapons which have had the most impact in modern warfare is the use of machine guns, which allowed for rapid and continuous fire which eliminated frequent reloading, the first one used in the American Civil War, the tank, which replaced the use of rifles and put an end to trench warfare, first used during WWI which symbolised the beginning of modern warfare. The development of nuclear weapons has had the most impact on our society. First developed in 1945, it allowed for massive destruction, affecting such as large area and so powerful no one was prepared for the casualties. An example of this being the Hiroshima bombing in 1945, where the casualties were so enormous and unthinkable which is why it is known as one of the saddest bombings in

The Allied Powers, employing the British Egyptian Expeditionary Force, waged three attacks in Gaza in 1917. The first two battles ended in complete failure with the last one being a crowning success for the British. The British Empire’s main objective for the operations in Gaza lay in its strategic position on the coast of Palestine. Occupying Gaza would expand access to the Mediterranean Sea, particularly the Suez Canal, to the British Navy allowing them to receive supplies, such as foods, minerals, defense materials and other provisions from Australia, New Zealand and Indian forces to the Western Front. Conquering Gaza would also be a vital entry into the wider Middle East. The British have been wanting the Canal way before World War 1 commenced. They believed dismembering the Ottoman Empire to be a less costly method at defeating their biggest enemy, Germany, which they eventually succeed at. Until today, the Palestinian region is still embedded in much turmoil due to years of invasions, as well as religious and territorial

In the late 1800s, Europeans began thinking of a new weapon. This weapon would be similar to Naval Battleships, but on land. For years no one had any luck with a functioning design. Then, in 1903, H.G. Wells published a story called “The Land Ironclad” focused around an armoured vehicle with mounted turrets. Because of Wells’ vivid details when writing, in 1915 British engineers were able to draw a plausible, working design for a contraption that would later be called the Mark I Tank. The introduction of the tank would startal the world and open up a new frontier for engineering. (I need help with a thesis!)

Originally built in 1869 as a joint French and Egyptian project, the Suez Canal was the only direct route from the Mediterranean to the Red Sea. Recognising the economic and strategic benefits of holding the canal, Britain had bought out Egypt’s share (it allowed for more rapid troop movements, cut distances and times required to transport goods and lessened the need to protect the over-land route around the Cape of Good Hope.)

Almost ninety-five years ago, in 1918, the French inventor named Louis Octave Fauchon-Villeplee designed the first railgun prototype. By connecting two parallel

There were many Important events that happened during the Suez Crisis. First, there were two invasions that occurred, The first one being the early invasion in Southern Sinai. the invasion of the Sinai, began when an Israeli paratrooper

The Suez Canal, constructed between 1859 and 1869, connects the Mediterranean Sea to the Red Sea. The canal was of great importance to Britain during the World Wars; not only did it connect Britain to its colonies allowing for more direct trade routes, but it connected Britain to the oilfields of the Persian Gulf (“Suez Crisis”). As such, Britain vehemently protected the canal, to the degree that it declared Egypt a protectorate during World War I and sent troops when the canal was threatened to protect its interests. The troops remained even when Egypt was given nominal independence, which gave the Egyptians a sense of subordination. Feelings of resentment festered within the Egyptians until the 1950s, when a nationalist movement broke out, during which the Egyptians took back the Suez Canal, resulting in a brief struggle called the Suez Crisis. The Suez Crisis marked a pivotal moment in international politics in which Egypt, a ‘weak’ country stood up to the Global Power, Britain, and ultimately succeeded, causing drastic shifts in political power on a global scale.

I had to write a report about one of the great man made structure of the world and I had choice the Suez Canal .I will talk about the construction of the Suez Canal and the purpose of building such a famous and an important man made structure in the Arab World that make me proud of their working even there were no modern equipment that help them in to their work. Canal is water manmade canal that where ground before constructions by digging the ground to depth that allow water to go through so the ship can move easily in to from one water surface and another .Suez Canal is a102 mile manmade waterway with 26feet in depth that connect two main water surface in to the world which are the Mediterranean Sea (located between Europe and North of Africa) and the Red Sea (located between the Asia and Africa ) which located in Egypt . Sea trade in to the past were very active because ships can carries tones of the goods whit low cost of services that make it the main methods in to the world to exchange the trade between the different continents . In the past the sea route for commercial ships were sailing from Europe to Asia especially to India which was famous with their goods that make Europe countries to buy their goods or tea etc.. so they should to sail from Europe around Africa to reach to India or to reach in to their colonies in Asia or Africa that took long time and a high rate of danger that make the main purpose of building the Suez Canal to shorten the distance and
