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."

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."

Abstract
In this article the writer points out that imperialism has been a driving force in global economic and social development throughout much of history. A definition of imperialism is provided as acquiring nations by extending control over foreign entities. The writer notes that from ancient China, through Western Europe, and even today, the process of garnering control and using underutilized assets from lesser developed nations has shaped the world. The writer then discusses that as trade barriers dissolve, it becomes increasingly clear that imperialism has changed form from a singular nation-strategy, to a multi-national organization strategy as a globalizing force. The writer concludes that globalization, in a more socially responsible format, could lead to bona fide human liberation globally, making it the farthest thing from imperialism as possible and, therefore, perhaps the light at the end of the dark imperialistic tunnel.
Outline:
Introduction
Imperialism Under the Guise of Developing Underdeveloped Nations
Capitalism, Privatization and Modern Imperialism
Imperialism and Globalization

From the Paper
"Throughout history, societies have been subdivided into levels of development. The industrialized nations of Western Europe and North America, and currently more recently industrialized nations such as Japan, have been dubbed "First World" nations, while others such as many nations in Asia, Africa and Latin America, are categorized as "Third World" nations. This categorization occurs due to several factor include poverty levels, industrialization, and productivity of the nation. Historically, Imperialism is the process of seeing the underutilized riches in an underdeveloped nation, and then taking control of the nation in question, in order to benefit from their lack of ability to defend themselves. It is this historic exploitation that has often negatively affected the nation's current global standing."

Abstract
Heroism, victory and leadership are, indeed, unique but not unrelated literary concepts. They have been long defined originally within the ancient Greek works. Ultimately, that which defines heroism in the literary context is a journey that takes the hero away from society, transforms him while on the journey, and a triumphant return to impart new knowledge upon the community. Victory is clearly defined as an achieved domination of one party by the other - but true victory is much harder to define and more commonly achieved by isolating a set of parameters necessary to be met before victory can be achieved - often that victory comes at a cost to all parties because it is never really clean. Leadership, particularly in literature, is necessary to drive the hero to his goals and to take credit for a victory. The main character of the story does not always take up a leadership role, but they must respond and react to that role. It is the purpose of this paper to examine these three concepts in the context of the "Aneid", the "Iliad" and "Henry V".

Abstract
This paper looks at imperialism in the 20th century. It takes a look at both the pro-imperialism and anti-imperialism points of view. Included are the pro-imperialism ideologies of Teddy Roosevelt and Adolph Hitler and the anti-imperialism arguments of Frantz Fanon and Mahandas Gandhi,as well as others. The political ideas of expansionism and protectionism are explored.
From the Paper
"As the 20th century unfolded, the struggle for and against imperialism continued escalate and became a dominant issue on the world political stage. While political figures in countries as disparate as Nazi Germany and the United States supported and justified imperialism, those who were subjects of it willingly put their lives on the line to oppose it and, hopefully, bring it to an end. For the most part, the pro-imperialist, based their arguments on economic need and/or racism. Such is true in the cases of Jules Ferry, Theodore Roosevelt, and Adolph Hitler. On the other hand, those who stood against imperialism based their arguments on human rights and self-determination. Just before the dawn of the 20th century, both Ferry of France and Roosevelt of the United States led the charge for expansionism by their respective countries."

Abstract
This paper explains that the New Imperialism, which took place between 1871 and 1914, resulted from industrialized nations seeking control of foreign territories for economic, military, political, and philosophical aims. The paper describes the conditions that motivated and fueled the New Imperialism, the active players in the age of New Imperialism, and the consequences of New Imperialism for industrialized nations and for the lands and peoples that were subjugated.
From the Paper
"One of the motivating factors for the New Imperialism was world trade. The world markets were becoming increasingly open to free trade, but because of an economic depression, many European powers sought to impose trade tariffs and other restrictions to assume dominance in the market. Also, nations needed new avenues for natural resources and the industrialized nations would compete heavily for access to the natural resources of Africa and Southeast Asia. Africa was the prime victim of the New Imperialism; only two nations remained free of European control. The New Imperialism completely restructured Africa, altering its social, political, and economic realities and undermining ancient indigenous traditions. The industrialized nations also sought potential for new markets for their finished manufactured goods. Therefore, the New Imperialism was mostly based on economic motives."

This essay will argue that while Kalm's thesis is undeniably accurate, the British at the time were operating within the perspective of international power politics and were unable to see - as Kalm was able to as a foreign observer - the broader implications of their policies.
