Publications

Publications

In its consequences for the future role of the Atlantic Alliance, the system-change in Europe means more than what it is commonly conceived of to be.

Although relations between the two countries had been quite positive for several decades, the “special relationship” between the United States and Britain had been strained by the recent “Suez Crisis.” This event was prompted by Egyptian leader Gamal Abdel Nasser’s July 1956 decision to nationalize the Franco-British Suez Canal Company, a French-British company responsible for operating the Suez Canal.
