Question

1956, the Suez Crisis threatened to ignite a multinational war. Which number represents the area in which this crisis took place?

Answer 1

The Suez Crisis took place at the location of the Suez Canal in Egypt. 

The Suez Canal is located between the mainland of Egypt and the Sinai Peninsula. This is north of the Gulf of Suez. This canal connects the Mediterranean Sea to Indian Ocean.  The canal was important in particular to oil transportation. The Suez Crisis centered around Arab and Israeli conflict in which Israel invaded Egypt and took control of the Suez Canal. This canal was heavily used by Europe and therefore almost led to World War III.
