The Suez Canal
Episode dedicated to the Suez Canal, the pharaonic work that connects the Mediterranean Sea to the Red Sea: from its construction in the 19th century until 1956, the year in which Egyptian president Nasser decided to nationalize it; this decision is followed by the so-called “Suez crisis”, which marked the definitive decline of France and the United Kingdom as World powers and the escalation of the clash between Arab countries and Israel.
