Suez Crisis 1956 | Part 1 | The Rise of Nasser | Ancient to Recent | Episode 48

In this episode of Ancient to Recent, Joseph Parkinson begins a new series on the Suez Crisis, exploring the collapse of European imperial power and the rise of a new global order.

From the battlefields of the Second World War to the streets of colonial Algeria, the cracks in the old empires begin to show. As France struggles to maintain control and nationalist movements gain momentum, a new force emerges in the Arab world.

At the centre of it all is Gamal Abdel Nasser.

Rising from modest beginnings to become Egypt’s dominant political figure, Nasser reshapes his country through revolution, repression, and ambition. As he consolidates power at home, he begins to challenge Western influence abroad, supporting anti-colonial movements, confronting old imperial powers, and positioning himself as a leader of the non-aligned world.

But as tensions rise and alliances shift, one bold decision looms on the horizon one that will bring Egypt into direct conflict with Britain, France, and Israel.

Join Joseph Parkinson as Ancient to Recent explores the forces that led to one of the most consequential crises of the Cold War era.
