      because USSR threatened Nukes if the allies didn't lrsve their puppet alone, The US didn't want to drive More arab counties into the arms of the Soviets. Britain was very influenced by america at the time. Eg britain didn't have 100% control over their nuclear arsenal. France chose the longer approach of developing their bombs without American control so did not yet have the power to tell the USSR to mind their own business until 1960.

The USA built infrastructure and shipped tons of wheat to Egypt every year. The USSR shipped tons of weapons and trained Egyptian officers. Egypt was a strategic country that controlled a major artery to world trade. Both the USA and USSR didn't want France and the UK involved so they both demanded the UN stop the conflict

    Despite the military defeats suffered during this event, this was a huge political win for Nasser. Far from leading to his overthrow, it cemented his reputation with the people as someone who was willing to stand up to the old empires. He was so popular after this that following the defeat in the 6 Day War, Nasser said he would resign, but the populace threatened to riot if he did.

    2 key things you didn't discuss here. Firstly, future Canadian PM Lester B. Pearson was the one who formulated the ceasefire and was subsequently awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for his actions. Secondly, one of the sticking points of the ceasefire was that the Straits of Tiran were not to be blocked again under any condition. Egypt violated that in April 1967 to close Israel off from the Red Sea, effectively setting the casus belli for the Six Day War two months later.

      True, but another video I saw mentioned that there were negotiations underway, to get Nasser to unblock the Straits. Israel didn't allow any room for negotiation and just shot first, asked questions later. The other thing is that Nasser only blocked the Straits, because of disproportionate Israeli attacks in the Golan Heights.

    I feel Kings and Generals should bring out the fact that both superpower at the time were angry with UK, France and Israel for invading Egypt.
    Soviet premier Nikolai Bulganin warned that the Soviet Union was ready to fire nuclear-armed ballistic missiles at Britain, France and Israel unless those nations withdrew. Equally shocking was the reaction of the United States. Eisenhower and Secretary of State John Foster Dulles threatened economic sanctions against Israel if it failed to withdraw from the Sinai. It also threatened Britain’s oil supply (Saudi Arabia did embargo Britain and France) and considered selling off British bonds, which would have devastated the British economy. A UN resolution, spurred by the United States, called for a ceasefire and withdrawal of foreign forces.

    The British and French first wanted the Israeli forces to invade Sinai and then drop in as peacekeepers and form a DMZ at the Suez Canal (held by them of course).
    The terms called for both sides to pull back 10km away from the canal, which kinda sucked when they announced this while Israeli forces were still 40+km away from the canal.

    I've always believed that Egypt should have sided with the USA after 1952....none of this would have happened. We had a narcissist son of a ***** ruling the country with a bunch of wannabe- uneducated officers and they introduced the concept of nepotism in Egypt. This concept ultimately ruined the country and its army. Brigadier generals were assigned according to their loyalty and not according to their qualifications. Shortly after that, all of Egypt was being assigned jobs accordingly and the country fell into dismay and chaos.

People in Brussels making laws for Britain didn’t sit right with many people, the handling of the refugee crisis didn’t help that either.
      Many people also just wanted to send a message to parliament and the government, since they felt that those higher ups stopped paying attention to their demands anymore.
      And the Brexit issue has highlighter the many problems in the inner workings of UK parliament, which citizens wanted to change.

      @Marcelo Henrique Soares da Silva It's not about the size of the military or its quality, but rather about how you can leverage it for your political benefits. There was a time the US wouldn't face any serious opposition in most areas by any other power, either by itself or by proxy.- when after the fall of the USSR , both Russia and China could not project their power either economically, politically or militarily outside a limited region. Things have considerably changed since, and considering Russia seems to be on route to getting two of its chief goals completed - dismantling the EU and NATO - they probably won't become better. And it matters less that you can win a battle, and more that there's the possibility of actually going into it, with its associated risks.
