    This is a series I made back in 2018, re-released as a single documentary, which always seems a more popular format. This is the story of the 1956 Suez Crisis, when the world faced an international energy supply crisis, politicians warned of repeating the mistakes of 1930s appeasement, and a Russian leader was sending tanks into a European capital to crush hopes of greater freedom... The sort of events that until recently, we might have hoped were consigned to history.

      An interesting thing was the fallout from this. The South African port of Cape Town, was absolutely overrun. We had so much business from the companies who had to bypass to alternative routes that for the next 20 years we got masses of income.

      No hope in going to the past come to the loving savior today
      Seek his Holy Spirit in prayer today he can give you peace confort and guidance today
      Romans 6:23
      For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
      Come to Jesus Christ today
      Jesus Christ is only way to heaven
      Repent and follow him today seek his heart Jesus Christ can fill the emptiness he can fill the void
      Heaven and hell is real cone to the loving savior today
      Today is the day of salvation tomorrow might be to late come to the loving savior today
      John 3:16-21
      16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. 21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.
      Mark 1.15
      15 And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.
      2 Peter 3:9
      The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
      Hebrews 11:6
      6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.
      Jesus

    In 1956 I was a cadet in my school CCF unit. At about the time the Suez crisis was developing our CCF contingent was at a 2 week annual "camp" at HMS St Vincent in Gosport. HMS ST Vincent was a shore training unit for cadets and boy seaman presumably prior to their assignment as junior seamen on Royal Navy ships. For the first part of our stay there we were the only boys there to experience the Royal Navy services. This included a naked one length swim of the very cold pool before breakfast. During our stay there we visited HMS Dolphin, a submarine depot where we shown on board on one of the vessels. We also visited a Gunnery practice range where we allowed to operate a shore based anti aircraft gun installation (no ammo!). To aid our experience the marine aircraft section provided a real aircraft "attacking" our position from over the horizon. We were to control the gun to follow this target and "shoot it down". We were not very good at that!. Our term at St Vincent was cut short when all boy seamen from the carriers and support vessels in port were transferred to HMS St Vincent. Boy seamen were not permitted on active service. The ships were preparing to leave on the Suez campaign... On our penultimate day at the camp we had a race to climb the flag mast. The race was to touch the "cap" at the top. I think I won that.. ! I am now 83y.o. and the fond memories remain.

      The suez crisis isn’t really talked about in American history classes because it creates a narrative that the modern school system is against: the US isn’t an objectively good or bad state, it’s a state run by hundreds of democratically elected people with varying agendas, leading to decisions that are both morally bad and good. The modern school system would prefer you think that the U.S. is evil and terrible, except for fighting the Nazis(the Japanese and Italians don’t matter because Japan makes anime and Italy is a good vacation spot🤪🤪). I’m not here to make a absolute political statement that all American school are indoctrinating students to hate the U.S., because that isn’t true, there are some great school districts that are in the middle, and there are some school districts that teach a false narrative that American is the world’s superhero and that it’s never done bad, but it’s undeniably true that the general direction that the school system is taking is towards a “hate the U.S.” narrative,

    Although there’s one thing the British did gain from the Suez Crisis…
    The creation of the Mini Cooper.
    The Suez Crisis caused oil and fuel prices to sky rocket, which made running a car very expensive. Various manufacturers tried to build smaller cars to make increase fuel efficiency, but they were so small that they weren’t popular.
    Then Mini came up with a good idea. Instead mounting the engine longitudinally, they mount it transversely. Which in turn allowed them to make the engine bay more compact and make the car big enough to fit four, fully, grown adults inside. And more importantly, it was very fuel efficient. On average the Mini was able to do 56mpg, which is a lot. And to this day, car manufacturers still mount the engines transversely. At least in FWD hatchbacks that’s the case.

    My late aunt was a schoolteacher at the time of the War of the Tripartite Aggression. Even before the war broke out, all the schoolteachers and the secondary school students capable of bearing arms in her Cairo district-males and females-had undergone a military education course, including live firearms instruction using the Lee-Enfield bolt-action rifle. They were taught range estimation, windage estimation, and shooting at moving targets. They were also taught grenade-throwing, how to prepare and best use Molotov cocktails, and things of that nature. It was a very comprehensive course.
    Once the war broke out, teachers and students who had passed the course were issued rifles and ammunition to keep in their homes, in the event that the foreign invaders reached Cairo. They were expected to provide assistance to Egyptian Army, National Guard, and Police units in their area as needed. In the event that there were no local Army/NG/Police officers that they could receive orders from, they were ordered to resist invading forces at their own initiative, to the best of their ability, for as long as possible. After the war ended and the threat had receded, the teachers and students returned the firearms and ammunition back to the authorities.
    Nearly 40 years after the war, when I was just a teenager, I owned a 4.5mm (.177 caliber) air rifle. My aunt had just told me about the military training that she had received in her twenties. I asked her to show me. May Allah be my witness, she proved that she had forgotten nothing from that military training course. Even on a gusty day, she was able to estimate windage like a pro, and even with that weak air rifle of mine, was able to hit consistent groups on the target from both standing and kneeling positions, even at the extreme range of the rifle. Just imagine, a dignified lady, in her late sixties, in a hijab and long dress, having a great time scoring bullseyes, proud that she hadn’t lost her touch even after almost 4 decades, and telling me that she wished that she had a real rifle, so she could teach me how to shoot for real. Truly, it was such an impressive moment, and I’ll never forget this memory of my late aunt. May Allah have mercy upon her soul and grant her Paradise!

    This video made me very emotional for some reason. Perhaps the realisation that everything must come to an end.

    Eisenhower proved a remarkably prescient President, on multiple fronts. There's a reason he's now ranked by historians as one of the best. Excellent use of soft power in the name of peace.

      he kind of backstabbed britain when nasser declined the fair and reasonable offer he was presented (international management for the canal) and he forbade them from taking military action (which was at that point their only recourse)
      i agree that he was totally right to reign those two in and put a stop to their occupation right away, but he really could have prevented that shit show in the first place if he gave brits an alternative (like figuring out some sort of economic pressure to put on nasser or trading the suez canal for some other political favor)

    Brilliant. What more can I say. Superb rendition of this event in history. I was 10 years old and remember it vividly in New Zealand.
