In 1956, one of the most important geopolitical events of the post-war period took place in Egypt.
The Egyptian president Gamal Abdel Nasser nationalized the Suez Canal, one of the most important waterways in the world.

Learn more about the Suez Crisis and how it shaped the second half of the 20th century on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
