	Sinai Peninsula - Encyclopedia.WorldSearch (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		The Sinai Peninsula (in Arabic, Shibh Jazirat Sina) is a triangle-shaped peninsula lying between the Mediterranean Sea (to the north) and Red Sea (to the south).
		Its land borders are the Suez Canal to the west and the Israel–Egypt border to the north-east.
		In 1948, Egyptian forces passed though Sinai on their way to invade the newly-created state of Israel based on a UN mandate dividing the land between the Jews and the Christian and Muslim inhabitants.

	The History Guy:Arab-Israeli Wars:Suez War (1956)
		In 1956, three of the Twentieth Century's most dominant forces came together in a short, violent clash in the Egyptian regions known as the Suez Canal and the Sinai Peninsula.
		The Cold War struggle between the mostly democratic and capitalist West against the Communist East dominated by the Soviet Union and China both helped and hindered the Nationalist goals of many African and Asian countries.
		In this way, the Cold War affected the young nation of Egypt and her relations with the rest of the world.

		Israel's victory in the 1956 War (known in Israel as the Sinai Campaign) thus afforded it a modicum of increased security by virtue of the UN presence.
		Although many Israelis felt that the military victory was nullified by the UN demand to withdraw from Sinai, Israel had achieved significant psychological gains at a cost of fewer than 170 lives.
		The decade after the 1956 War was the most tranquil period in the nation's history.
