Anglo-Egyptian War

The Anglo-Egyptian War of 1956 was a conflict between Egypt and a coalition of Britain, France, and Israel. The war was triggered when Egypt nationalized the Suez Canal, which was controlled by British and French interests, aiming to assert control over its own resources. In response, Britain, France, and Israel launched a military operation to regain control and protect their interests, but the invasion faced strong international pressure, especially from the United States and the Soviet Union. Eventually, diplomatic negotiations led to British and French withdrawal, and Egypt retained control of the canal, marking a significant shift in regional power dynamics.
