History

Answer:

c) It was a nationalistic and retaliatory move to bring control of the canal under Egypt's command.

Explanation:

Suez Canal was built by French engineers and it remained under the control of England till the president of Egypt Gamal Abdel Nasser nationalized. It was a nationalist move to eradicate the control of foreign countries over the canal.

Further Explanation:

The history of the construction of the Suez canal was itself filled with remorse. It is said that thirty thousand workers worked to build it at any given point of time. It took around ten years using forced labor to finish this project. The initiative was taken by the French man Ferdinand DE LesAseps. Although stakes of the company not initially gained global interest but they found a good price in France.

The British invasion of Egypt changed the situation and by the Convention of Constantinople in 1888, it became a neutral zone. The worst of its effect can be seen in the colonization of Africa by Europe.

Suez Canal connects the Mediterranean sea and the Red sea. The geographical advantage of the canal gave a more direct route from the North Atlantic to North Indian ocean and it reduced the distance from London to the Arabian sea. It gave Britain a direct route to obtain oil from Arab nations and thus serve important economic interest. Moreover, it was an important strategic position in the world war.

It remained under the control of Britain by the treaty of 1936. In 1951 the treaty was discarded by Egypt and in 1954 Britain withdraws its troops.

On 26 July 1956 The president of Egypt nationalized the canal and this repose came from the decline of promise by the united kingdom and the united states of America to support the construction of the Aswan dam. President justified its move as the revenue from the Suez canal can supplement the construction of the dam. The reasons were more deep and could be found in the context of the cold war. The inclination of Egypt towards the soviet union created tension in the United States of America and the United Kingdom. And the result was seen in Suez Crises.

Key words: Suez canal, Britain, Egypt.

The correct answer is c)It was a nationalistic and retaliatory move to bring control of the canal under Egypt's command.


Since 1869 the Suez Canal remained under British and French control. After WWII Egypt pressed for evacuation of British troops from the zone of the Canal and President Nasser decided to nationalize the canal.

This started the Suez Crisis that led to Israel invade and British and French troops to occupy the canal zone. Later, in 1957, they withdrew and Egypt took control of the canal and reopened it to commercial shipping.

A informative essay about Prometheus about 3 to 5 paragraphs
Marina86 [1]

Answer:

Prometheus, the Titan of Greek mythology, was considered to be the most important Titan ever in all the myths. He helped the human race tremendously in his efforts to sustain an easier lifestyle. Mankind had great respect for him because of his advantages and gifts or abilities he gave them. Also, his battle against Zeus as a result of his love for man was very much appreciated. Prometheus was one of the most interesting Greek mythology figures in his time. He was a very kind, loving, generous, and courteous god to mankind. This can be seen through many events in his life including a particular myth that the reader will acknowledge in this research paper.

Prometheus' birth has two sides of stories behind the myth. Most people, in that time period, weren't sure who Prometheus' mother was. His father, on the other hand, was Iapetus, one of the Titans. One of Prometheus' mothers in the stories was Clymene, one of the Oceanids, and the other version has it that Asia, also one of the Oceanids, was Iapetus' spouse (Parada 4). Whatever the case was, Epimetheus was Prometheus' brother. Later in life, Prometheus would tell Epimetheus not to accept any gift from Zeus because of the vision he would get from his ability to before-hand tell the future. This Epimetheus would later ignore when he would marry Zeus' creation, Pandora (Parada 3).

There are also two stories or sides to his marriage or mate or spouse that Prometheus chose. Some say it was Pronoia, and some say it was Clymene (Parada 5). The Clymene mentioned is ironically the same Greek figure as mentioned in the myth about Prometheus' mother (Parada 4-5). However, the only version of his offspring or child of his own was Deucalion (Parada 5). Deucalion shared a common interest in the love of man during the Great Flood like his father had (Hunt 1; Parada 2). During the Great Flood of the lands of Greece, Deucalion would learn to recreate men by throwing rocks over his head as commanded by his wish granted from Zeus because of his accomplishment of surviving. This was a similar trait that would be shared by father and son.
