	Six-Day War - MSN Encarta
		Six-Day War, armed conflict in June 1967 between Israel and the Arab states of Egypt, Jordan, and Syria.
		In the years before the Six-Day War, the Arab countries continually refused to acknowledge the legitimacy of the Jewish state, and Arab nationalists led by Nasser called for the destruction of Israel.
		On the third day of the war, June 7, Jordanian forces were pushed from the West Bank across the Jordan River.

	Suez-Sinai War
		War fought between Egypt on one side, and Israel, Britain and France on the other.
		The background for the war were disputes over rights of control over the traffic passing through the Suez Canal, who was to own the canal as well as the continued clashes between Israel and Egypt that had occurred in all the years that had followed since the end of the First Palestinian War in 1949.
		The war had serious impact on the moral and political strength of the nations involved.

	Suez Crisis (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		The Crisis resulted in the resignation of the British Conservative Prime Minister, Sir Anthony Eden, marked the completion of the shift in the global balance of power from European powers to the United States and the Soviet Union, and was a milestone in the decline of the British Empire.
		The improved Egyptian relationship with the Chinese was the result of the Bandung Conference in 1955, where Nasser had asked the Chinese to use their influence on the Soviets to supply Egypt with the necessary arms.
		Along with Suez, the United States was also dealing with the near-simultaneous Soviet-Hungary crisis, and faced the public relations embarrassment of criticizing the Soviet Union's military intervention there while at the same time avoiding criticism of its two principal European allies' actions.

	Crimes Of War Project > The Book
		Until 1945, an act of war in the traditional and historical sense was understood to mean any act by a State that would effectively terminate the normal international law of peacetime and activate the international law of war.
		An example of modern State practice is provided by the United Kingdom, which during the Suez War of 1956 and the Falkland Islands War of 1982 strenuously denied that it was at war with, respectively, Egypt and Argentina.
		The term act of aggression has to all intents and purposes subsumed the legal term act of war and made it irrelevant, although act of war is still used rhetorically by States that feel threatened.

		The Yom Kippur War (also known as the October War and Ramadan War), was fought from October 6 (the day of Yom Kippur) to October 22/24, 1973, between Israel and a coalition of Egypt and Syria.
		In the Six-Day War in June 1967, Israel had occupied the Golan Heights in the north and the Sinai Peninsula in the south, right up to the Suez Canal.
		Blinded by the success of the Six-Day War, the Israeli civilian leadership and military intelligence were unable to treat the possibility of an Arab attack seriously.

	From Suez to Baalbak : Indybay
		War, massive use of force, is still the preferred option of its strategists in or out of uniform.
		In the Suez war, Israel in collusion with France and Britain attacked Egypt with the (unachieved) goal of overthrowing Abdel Nasser.
		Today’s war in Lebanon is the sixth fought by Israel against its Arab enemies in less than sixty years, not counting its military suppression of the two Palestinian intifadahs.

		Suez in 1956 was the last throw of two declining imperial powers, plus Israel, which, then as today, has its own agenda.
		The Franco-British invasion of Suez in 1956 owed something to similar psychological factors, particularly in the case of the British prime minister Anthony Eden, who saw a Hitler in every little dictator and wanted to compensate retrospectively for his failure as foreign secretary before the war.
		But principally the French and British invaded Egypt because the Egyptian government had taken over the Suez Canal, which they had previously controlled, and which still seemed to them to be of vital strategic importance as an artery of seaborne communication with their remaining colonial possessions in Africa and Asia.

	Suez Crisis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		(Hebrew: מבצע קדש), (Arabic: أزمة السويس - العدوان الثلاثي) was a war fought on Egyptian territory in 1956.
		The Suez Canal had been important in the British and French colonial penetration of Africa.
		Perhaps more significantly, the United States also feared a wider war after the Soviet Union threatened to intervene on the Eygptian side and launch attacks by "all types of weapons of destruction" on London and Paris.

	Gusztáv KECSKÉS: The Suez Crisis and the 1956 Hungarian Revolution, Cold War History Research Center (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		To understand the dual crises is complicated by the fact that, until the outbreak of the Suez War, neither the British nor the French Ministries of Foreign Affairs were informed about the secret military preparations since only the highest level officials participated in preparations for the Suez intervention.
		Although the two series of events stem from totally different causes—the nationalization of the Suez Canal and the threat to Israel were in the background of the action against Egypt, while in Hungary it was the crisis of the Stalinist-type regime—the two crises influenced and affected one another.
		The two American historians represent vastly disparate viewpoints: according to Calhoun the Suez question and the fate of the Hungarian revolution are very closely connected since it was the British government’s move which forced Khrushchev to revise his former compromising standpoint and to decide on crushing the Hungarian revolution.

	Suez Crisis
		In the whole history of the Suez fiasco, nothing has become clearer than the effect of Macmillan's tough line with Murphy both then and throughout the following weeks, when Eden was going through the torment of preparing to use force to recapture the Canal.
		It was not until it was becoming clear that the invasion was turning into an almost farcical failure, with Harold already the odds-on favourite for the succession to the sick and exhausted Eden, that he again assumed the statesman's mantle.
		The Suez Canal Company was registered as an Egyptian company under Egyptian law; and Colonel Nasser had indicated that he intended to compensate the shareholders at ruling market prices.

		The Suez Crisis of 1956 did not involve the world's two major powers - America and Russia - but Suez was an important event in the Cold War as it tended to overshadow the events in Hungary.
		After the Second World War there was overwhelming world sympathy for the Jews and few people thought of the Arabs (Palestinians) who lived in the region.
		This had to raise the stakes in the Cold War game as Russia expanded her influence among those countries determined to remove Israel from the region while Israel was supported by America.

		The war temporarily ended the activities of the fedayeen; however, they were renewed a few years by a loosely knit group of terrorist organizations that became know as the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO).

	First World War.com - Battles - The Defence of the Suez Canal, 1915
		Completed in 1869 and running north-south across the Suez Isthmus in Egypt to the Mediterranean in the Red Sea, its importance lay in its status as the quickest naval route between Europe and the countries around the Indian and western Pacific oceans: in short, between Britain and her colonies.
		The British themselves had feared an attack since the outbreak of war in August 1914 - with good reason, for Djemal began planning its capture from the very first - but had placed its defence as a secondary consideration to the war being fought on the Western Front.
		Nevertheless some 30,000 Indian army troops were belatedly applied to the canal's defence once Turkey's intention to enter the war on the side of the Central Powers became clear.

	The Imperial Attachment to the Suez Canal from 1914 to 1945
		The years from World War I to the end of World War II paint an interesting picture of the imperial attachment to the canal and demonstrate what could be aptly termed growing pains of the imperial attachment to the Suez Canal.
		At the end of 1935, the Suez Canal and all of Egypt, the imperial artery, were defended by one cavalry brigade, one infantry brigade, and one tank brigade, clearly the canal was not of dire importance.
		The coming of World War II would renew the importance of the canal, but in the 1930s, even with the late buildup, the British Government had grown disenchanted with the canal and was more than willing to sacrifice the canal and defend India via Singapore despite the supposed importance of the canal.

		Until the Gulf war, the military threat to Israel has been dramatically exaggerated, as the wars of 1948-49, 1956, 1967 and 1973 well illustrate.

		During World War II the area was of strategic importance to control of the Eastern Mediterranean Sea and the Middle East, and British forces operated in the region.
		British troops were withdrawn from the Canal region in 1947 and the state of Israel was formally established in 1948, shortly followed by the 1948 Arab-Israeli War, which established Israel's independence.
		After the withdrawal, Lester Pearson, Canada's acting cabinet minister for external affairs, went to the United Nations and suggested creating a United Nations Emergency Force (UNEF) in the Suez to "keep the borders at peace while a political settlement is being worked out".
