Answer: The Suez crisis escalated in 1956.

Explanation:

The crisis is the result of the Egyptian - Israeli war. Egypt sought to build a dam on the Nile. Egypt was buying weapons from the Soviet Union during this period, so they decided to withdraw the Egyptian assistance needed to complete the project. Egyptian leader Gamal Abdel Nasser responded by nationalizing the Suez Company, which was owned by Britain and France. The Suez Canal represented an essential route for international trade. The British saw the move as jeopardizing their interests.

Military action was soon devised to protect the British interests and gain control of the route. America has thwarted and condemned this action by the British and French because no one asked them anything. With their influence, they forced the British and French to withdraw. Following this, the US pledged to protect the interests of the Middle East from Soviet domination.

Answer:

Wasted government money

Explanation:

The sentence "wasted government money" is the one that fits the best in the blank box.

The reason is that it is the only sentence with a negative meaning, and the sentence itself is giving a negative opinion about the political machines from the beginning.

All the other senteces have a positive connotation, and because of that, would not fit in the blank space.

This means that public services such as bathrooms or water fountains could still be whites only or blacks only but they had to be equal in quality. (i.e the bathroom for whites only could not be very clean and fancy while the blacks only bathroom was dirty).
