Description
Some historical illustrations I found about the 1956 Suez Canal Crisis. Britain, France and Israel invaded Egypt to try and take back control of the Canal after President Nasser nationalized it. Paratroopers and helicopters where used extensively. It turned into a political disaster for Britain and France and Egypt was seen as the victor. It set the stage for future Arab-Israeli conflicts.
