Abstract
This paper examines how, completed sometime between the years of 1858 and 1869, the Suez Canal has played a major role in the transportation of ships between Europe and the Far East. It looks at how, from the time the passage was first opened until the year it was nationalized by Gamal Abdel Nasser, leader of the Egyptian people, the owners of the canal had been the French and British stockholders, how this nationalization of the Suez Canal caused a major crisis between the East and the West, and how, ironically, the United States and Russia were not involved directly. It looks at how the conflict over the Suez Canal served to make the region a hot-spot during the Cold War and attempts to understand why it was such an important event for all countries involved..
From the Paper
"Nasser and the newly formed Arab forces were now concentrating on the destruction of Israel. After meeting with various Third World countries, it was obvious that the goals of these countries continued to be a struggle against the Hashemites for leadership of the Muslim world and to take advantage of anti-Zionist sentiments to unite the Arab peoples. (Judge) As was the goal for most of the Third World countries, they would use the Cold War to their advantage and wait for either the United States or Russia to come running to them and offer something more and better than the other."

From the Paper
"In 1994, Israel withdrew from the Gaza Strip and Jericho, ending 27 years of occupation. A Palestinian police force replaced them. In 1995, then a Jewish extremist assassinated Israeli Prime Minister, Yitzhak Rabin, who had been involved in the latest peace processes.
In April 1996, Israeli forces bombed Lebanon for 17 days, with Hezbollah retaliating by firing upon populated areas of Northern Israel. Israel also bombed a UN shelter, killing about 100 out of 800 civilians sheltering there. The UN claimed it was intentional. In 1998, the Wye River Memorandum planned Israeli withdrawal from the West Bank but Israel suspended it in 1999 due to internal disagreements on its implementation."

Abstract
This paper explains how the Suez crisis of 1956 marked a decisive military defeat, yet it was a great political and economic victory for President Nasser, Egypt, and the entire Arab world. It shows how the nationalization of the canal provided the Arab world with the hero it so badly needed. Nasser provided guidance for his people and also provided an end to the period of Western imperial dominance in Egypt.
From the Paper
"With Nasser?s nationalization of Suez, the Western powers were furious regarded the nationalization as ?theft.? What came to be known as the Tripartite aggression in the East, the collaboration of Britain, France, and Israel all began to deploy troops for Suez immediately.10 All of the involved nations had their concerns with Nasser?s nationalization of the canal, but the four nations most chiefly concerned with the affair were Britain, France, the United States, and Israel.11 The Western powers of Britain, France, and the United States were much more concerned with the economic aspect of its nationalization, rather than the physical usage of it. For the West, Suez represented the quickest, most economical means of shipping to India and the far East. Both Britain and France had major economic interests in the canal12 and British ships represented seventy percent of the canal?s daily traffic. As Terrence Robertson put it, the Suez canal was ?the spinal cord of the British Empire.?13 With respect to the United States, the only reason that they did not take immediate military action is that of the ramifications it would have had on the Cold War and their already tense relationship with the Soviet Union.14 Other reasons for hostility among the Westerners include the fact that Nasser had been aiding the Algerians in their movement against the French, Israel was angry about their banishment from the gulf of Aqueba and perhaps from Suez altogether upon total Egyptian control."

Abstract
On October 29, 1956, a tripartite force of British, French and Israeli troops launched an attack upon Egypt. This paper discusses how the Suez Crisis provided relevant examples of themes in international relations such as the influence of containment theory, the cold war politics which characterized the latter half of the 20th century, and the emergence of the United States as a nation that would develop an interventionist national policy, concerning itself with the occurrences of other countries.
From the Paper
"The transaction of military equipment between Egypt and the Soviet Union had certainly placed the United States in a precarious position concerning cold war alliances. While the arms deal had been arranged so the official transfer of goods came from Czechoslovakia, those involved knew the true source of the merchandise was in fact the Soviet Union. Interestingly, the Eisenhower administration had initially agreed to provide a seemingly adequate amount of arms and had arranged for a proposal of terms. This proposal was subsequently refused by Nassar who was then offered an attractive deal by the Soviets, no doubt in the interest of procuring an alliance with Egypt. "

From the Paper
"The Suez Canal Crisis: An Analysis of Eisenhower's Response In order to understand the Suez Canal crisis and President Eisenhower's anger at Great Britain and France, it is necessary to examine the historical context of this event. Historians are in general agreement that Eisenhower's reaction to the Suez Canal crisis was influenced by the realities of geopolitics at the height of the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union. Eisenhower reacted angrily to the Suez Canal crisis primarily because his highest foreign policy priority was the containment of communism, but this strategic goal was undermined by the military actions undertaken by Great Britain and France in the Middle East in 1956.

From the Paper
"The Suez Crisis developed from an American plan to win the support of Saudi Arabia and at the same time expose Egypt?s leader, Gamal Abdel Nasser as a Soviet pawn. The Saudis were anti-communist, but also historically anti-British, and to counter Soviet inroads in the Middle East, the US had to assure the their support. In October 1954, Secretary of State Dulles offered to sell arms to Egypt only if Nasser agreed to not buy weapons from the USSR and he publicly denounced the Soviets. Nasser spoke out against the communists, but continued to buy Soviet arms as the US had expected he would."

From the Paper
"To understand the impact that Nasser had in the economic arena, it is essential to briefly discuss his past and rise to power. Nasser was born in Banny Mor Asyout, Egypt. He eventually moved to Cairo, as a result of his father's job as Inspector in Minister of Post. In Cairo he eventually earned his high school diploma, during which time he partook in several demonstrations against British occupation of his homeland. In 1937 Nasser joined military school, "he graduated on 1938 to join the third platoon in Asyout where he met Anwar El Sadat, and Zakaria Mohyi El Deen who later joined him in the "Free Officers" organization."

Abstract
In his attempt to achieve global domination, Adolf Hitler made many crucial decisions which ultimately affected both the outcome of World War II and the fate of his own regime. This paper examines three major decisions made by Hitler that eventually changed the direction of the war. It looks at how the first of these was his failure to give his full support to a Mediterranean campaign and how many of his advisors felt that the capture of Egypt and the Suez Canal would have weakened Britain considerably and might even have lead to eventual capitulation. It then examines his postponement and eventual cancellation, of Operation Sea Lion. Finally, it discusses his decision to invade Greece and Yugoslavia and the effect it had upon Operation Barbarossa.
From the Paper
"On October 3, in an address to the German people, Hitler announced the collapse of the Soviet Union. He declared that Russia was finished, and that Britain's dreams of a two front war were dead. His optimism seemed justified, especially after the fall of Kiev on September 19, followed by the victory in the Battle of Kiev on September 26, which resulted in the capture of some 665,000 Soviet prisoners, according to German reports. (7 1124) Hitler viewed this battle as "the greatest victory in the history of the world," though some of his generals did not share his views on its strategic importance. Heinz Guderian, among others, felt compelled to speak to Hitler about the capture of Moscow."

Abstract
This paper delves into the reasons why the British Government created the Balfour Declaration. It examines the true motives and despite their wish to help the Jews set up a homeland, they also had their own domestic issues at heart -from the necessity of securing the Suez Canal to the desire to empty their country of the Jewish people to avoid a rise of anti-Semitism.
From the Paper
"The Balfour Declaration was declared partly to elicit support from the powerful American Jewry who, in gratitude, might convince the United States to help Great Britain in the allied war effort. The Allies' (Great Britain, France, and Russia) outlook for World War I was bleak at the time: most battles they were fighting or had fought ended in stalemate with no victor. They needed a new ally that would tip the balance in their favor, allowing them to defeat the Central Powers (Germany, Austria, and the Ottoman Empire). In the current stage of the war, the U.S. was apathetic to joining either side, but they had substantial military potential and financial resources. If Britain issued a document that favored a Jewish home in Palestine, they thought that this inducement would be enough to encourage American Jewry to aid Great Britain in the war.1 The British believed the American Jews were extremely wealthy and among U.S. President Wilson's top advisors. Contrary to this notion, there were very few American Jews that were politically powerful, wealthy, or even Zionists that would appreciate this type of document. Britain's ignorance of the status of American Jewry thus played a main factor in the issuance of the Balfour Declaration.2 Here it is apparent that the British claim of Zionist sentiment really had no effect on their decision to issue the Declaration. They acted quickly and complied with British Zionists to design a quid pro quo that said " if the Allies committed themselves to giving facilities for the establishment of a national home for the Jews in Palestine, [the Zionists] would do their best to rally Jewish sentiment and support throughout the world to the Allied cause."3 Hence, the British used the Balfour Declaration merely as a tool to utilize what they thought was powerful Jewish influence in the United States. It is most probable that if the Allies were winning World War I at the time, the Balfour Declaration would not have been issued. There was not a strong Zionist commitment within the British Parliament and the Jews were used only as a part of Great Britain's bigger plan to bring the U.S. on the Allied side.4"

Abstract
This paper begins with a look at what sparked the great interest in Orientalism beginning with the 19th century and continuing until the 1930s. The paper also describes the influence that Orientalism had on American tastes in decorative arts and explains that this interest in Orientalism was no doubt encouraged by the opening of the Suez Canal which had the effect of providing artists with abundant and seductive new motifs for their work.
From the Paper
"Although Bonaparte had had the idea years earlier, it was in 1854 that the French diplomat, Ferdinand de Lesseps persuaded the Viceroy Said of Egypt to grant him the concession to cut a 100-mile long canal across the isthmus of the Suez. DeLesseps had cultivated the Viceroy Said even when the Viceroy was a young man and De Lesseps was the French ambassador to the Egyptian court" (African Business 2003, p. 64). "The creation of the Suez Canal captured the imagination of people around the world, and its opening in 1869 was a party to end all parties. As the champagne flowed, it was hailed as a symbol of progress that would serve to unite the world. You might even call it one of the first adventures in globalization-an infrastructure project designed to strengthen links between Europe, East Africa, the Middle East and the Orient" (African Business 2003, p. 64). In hindsight, of course, it did not work out as the great peace- and commerce-maker some may have had in mind."

"Gamal Abdel-Nasser and the Middle East
Introduction
Gamal Abdel-Nasser is often at the center of a heated controversy whenever Egyptians observe the anniversary of the 23 July 1952 Revolution. The event ended the monarchy and went on to rid Egypt of the last vestiges of Britain's seven.decade occupation, restoring Egypt's status as a leading regional power. Intellectuals and ordinary people alike still debate whether he was a blessing or curse to the country.
Nasser was known for his vehement opposition to Israel and his outspoken criticism of the West, a matter which lost him American and European support, particularly when he embarked on the building of the High Dam, an ambitious project designed to provide Egypt with electricity and protect the country against..."
