The Suez Canal is an Egyptian sea level waterway built in the isthmus of Suez  between the years 1859 and 1869. It is an important structure because most of the goods transported around the world back then and nowadays, is done by sea. The Suez Canal officially opened for business on November 17th 1969.

The main reason for opening the canal was that it offered Indian merchants a shorter way to reach Africa. B will be the correct answer. Now, the canal allows vessels a much shorter trip between the North Atlantic Ocean, and the Indian Ocean by way of the Mediterranean sea and the Red sea. Avoiding the South Atlantic southern tip saves ships about 6.000 Km.

The Suez Canal Authority owes and maintains the canal which can be used by merchant and war vessels alike, during peace or war times without distinction of nationality or flag.

Young people have historically failed to participate in the election process - fower young people vote than those of other
zysi [14]

Answer:

Scientists explain the estrangement of youth from politics, as well as political absenteeism by the following factors:

The first factor - society itself is the reason for the decline in the activity of the young generation and the development of political exclusion in the youth environment. The second factor - the interests of young people are currently focused on the problems of maintaining their existence and survival in modern conditions. The third factor is that young people, on the one hand, do not see the need to radically change anything in the current way of life, and on the other, they do not consider political activity as meaningful for themselves, finding more promising ways and areas of self-affirmation and personal self-realization.

Millennials are full of reasons to push for political change. But the “youth wave" is still a myth. As a result of this, power is chosen not by young and creative people, but by the average majority living 'by yesterday and today.'
