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.
