Suez Crisis 1956 | Part 3 | Operation Musketeer Begins | Ancient to Recent | Episode 50

In this episode of Ancient to Recent, Joseph Parkinson continues the story of the 1956 Suez Crisis as Britain, France and Israel launch their assault on Egypt.

Israeli paratroopers drop into the Sinai, British and French fleets move towards the Suez Canal and Gamal Abdel Nasser prepares Egypt for war. As Operation Musketeer begins, the secret conspiracy behind the invasion starts to unravel at the United Nations and in Washington, where President Eisenhower grows increasingly furious at America’s closest allies.

Joseph explores the opening battles of the war, the chaos inside Cairo, the mounting international backlash and the dangerous Cold War tensions unfolding alongside the Soviet crackdown in Hungary.

As the fighting intensifies and global pressure mounts, the Suez Crisis begins to transform from a regional conflict into a turning point in modern world history.

Join Joseph Parkinson as Ancient to Recent continues its series on one of the defining crises of the modern Middle East.
