1956: The Year Europe s Imperialism in the Suez Almost Caused Nuclear War
Washington had to reign in London and Paris from another imperial adventure. There was a real danger those allies wouldn t back down and neither would Moscow.
Here s What You Need to Remember: The damage to the West was immense. U.S.-British relations were damaged, and Soviet prestige enhanced.
The war began with an imperialist invasion to seize the Suez Canal. It ended with the Soviet Union threatening to nuke Britain, France and Israel.
The 1956 British and French attack on Suez, and the parallel 1956 Israel-Egypt War, have to be among the strangest conflicts in history. The cast of characters includes two fading empires reluctant to admit their decline, a charismatic Arab dictator, a paranoid Jewish state, a semi-fake war and a superpower with nuclear weapons.
