Answer:
The Suez Crisis of 1956 was a conflict that started with the military occupation of the Suez Canal by France, the United Kingdom and Israel, facing Egypt.
The crisis was resolved when the Soviet Union threatened to intervene on the side of Egypt and the United States, fearing the expansion of the conflict, forced British, French and Israelis to withdraw.
It was a conflict remembered by historians for various peculiarities: for the first time the United States and the Soviet Union agreed to guarantee peace; for the first time Canada expressed itself and acted against the United Kingdom; it was the last military invasion of the United Kingdom without the political endorsement of the United States, marking the end of the British Empire according to many, likewise, it was the last military invasion of France and therefore the last act of the French colonial empire; and it was finally one of the few times that the United States disagreed with Israel's policies.
