Egypt Grabs Suez (1956) > .
Egyptian President Gamal Abdel Nasser had nationalised the Suez Canal on 26 July, 1956. He had been careful to pay compensation to shareholders of the Suez Canal Company after the nationalisation, but both Britain and France were concerned about the potential economic and political problems that might ensue if Egypt chose to limit their access to the canal. They were particularly worried about access to oil from the Persian Gulf. Meanwhile, Israel was angry that Egypt had closed the canal to their shipping and blockaded the Gulf of Aqaba.
Months of tense negotiations failed to reassure Britain and France who secretly began preparing a military response to take back control of the canal in alliance with Israel. An agreement between the three allies was concluded at Sèvres in France on 24 October. The Protocol of Sèvres called for a full-scale Israeli assault on Egyptian Sinai on 29 October, which would be followed the next day with calls from Britain and France for the two sides to withdraw from the Canal Zone. Their troops would then move in to the area and place it under Anglo-French control.
The Israeli invasion took place on 29 October as agreed, and Nasser rejected the demands to withdraw his troops from the canal. In response British and French forces invaded the Egyptian city of Port Said on the night of 5-6 November.
The invasion was met with international condemnation that pressured British Prime Minister Anthony Eden into calling a ceasefire just a day later.
The Suez Crisis, or the Second Arab–Israeli war, also called the tripartite aggression in the Arab world and Sinai War in Israel, was an invasion of Egypt in late 1956 by Israel, followed by the United Kingdom and France. The aims were to regain Western control of the Suez Canal and to remove Egyptian president Gamal Abdel Nasser, who had just nationalised the canal. After the fighting had started, political pressure from the United States, the Soviet Union and the United Nations led to a withdrawal by the three invaders. The episode humiliated the United Kingdom and France and strengthened Nasser.
On 29 October, Israel invaded the Egyptian Sinai. Britain and France issued a joint ultimatum to cease fire, which was ignored. On 5 November, Britain and France landed paratroopers along the Suez Canal. The Egyptian forces were defeated, but they did block the canal to all shipping. It later became clear that Israel, France and Britain had conspired to plan out the invasion.
The three allies had attained a number of their military objectives, but the canal was useless. Heavy political pressure from the United States and the USSR led to a withdrawal. U.S. president Dwight D. Eisenhower had strongly warned Britain not to invade; he threatened serious damage to the British financial system by selling the US government's pound sterling bonds. Historians conclude the crisis "signified the end of Great Britain's role as one of the world's major powers". The Suez Canal was closed from October 1956 until March 1957. Israel fulfilled some of its objectives, such as attaining freedom of navigation through the Straits of Tiran, which Egypt had blocked to Israeli shipping since 1950.
As a result of the conflict, the United Nations created the UNEF Peacekeepers to police the Egyptian–Israeli border, British prime minister Anthony Eden resigned, Canadian external affairs minister Lester Pearson won the Nobel Peace Prize, and the USSR may have been emboldened to invade Hungary.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suez_Crisis .
Operation Musketeer (Opération Mousquetaire) was the Anglo-French plan for the invasion of the Suez canal zone to capture the Suez Canal during the Suez Crisis in 1956. ... Israel, which invaded the Sinai peninsula, had the additional objectives of opening the Straits of Tiran and halting fedayeen incursions into Israel. The Anglo-French military operation was originally planned for early September, but the necessity of coordination with Israel delayed it until early November. However, on 10 September British and French politicians and Chiefs of the General Staff agreed to adopt General Charles Keightley's alterations to the military plans with the intention of reducing Egyptian civilian casualties. The new plan, renamed Musketeer Revise, provided the basis of the actual Suez operation.
