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.

For this reason, a French canal was a political, economic, and imperialist idea that had historical roots back to the reign Louis XIV (Negrelli).

The Suez Crisis was a military and political conflict in Egypt. Directly linking the Mediterranean Sea to the Red Sea, the Suez Canal was constructed by Egyptian workers under the French and British-owned Suez Canal Company. Egyptian President Gamal Abdel Nasser seized the canal and the rationale for nationalizing the canal was to use the shipping tolls to finance the construction of the Aswan Dam.

The Suez Canal opened in 1869 and allowed for the speedy transit of more than 21,415 vessels in 2013. The canal handled eight percent of global trade and, in 2012, accounted for $5

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
