I was an 18 yr old Lance Corporal National Serviceman in 1 Para. On day 2 we were sent to head the advance down the Canal. I was in the forward platoon. It was late afternoon and I sat on a bollard looking down the Canal. There was nothing in front of me apart from desert and the canal. No noise, no shooting, nothing. Then we were withdrawn, put on an aircraft carrier and sent back to Cyprus. We were told it was because we were going to drop further down the canal. All I can say is we were up for it and did not know what was behind it all.

1manuscriptman Yes, there were important differences, but in both cases, the UK and US had no business meddling in sovereign nations. (I am an American, btw). Had the negotiated treaty agreed to by the French and Vietnam been faithfully carried out, there would never have BEEN a “South Vietnam” to request American aid. According to the treaty, the separation of Vietnam was to be temporary, followed by a national election, an election everyone knew Ho Chi Minh would have won (overwhelmingly). The US, completely misreading the situation, was looking at what was a Vietnamese War of Independence, solely in terms of the Cold War. They couldn’t see the huge difference between Korea and Vietnam. Ho Chi Minh was NOT Kim il Sung.

James Unsworth Many people look at Vietnam, and wonder what might have been had JFK lived. When you listen to LBJ on his tapes, you can see a man who really didn’t want to fight in Vietnam, but couldn’t find a way out. He was completely out of his depth, wondering why he couldn’t win over the Vietnamese with generous Great Society largesse. His brilliant sense of psychology, which served him so well as Majority Leader and President in domestic matters, failed him so completely in his failure to grasp the simple concept that what the Vietnamese wanted was Independence. But to me, the what if question that is far more interesting is wondering what might have happened had FDR, who was only in his early sixties when he died, lived to serve out his fourth term. Truman was the first to admit that the burden he inherited was staggering, and that he just wasn’t prepared, especially in trying to plan a post-war world. FDR had a very clear vision of what he wanted to happen, and part of that was to permanently end European colonial empires, a point Roosevelt made quite clear many times to Churchill. In 1945, French General Charles DeGaulle bluntly demanded that French Indochina (which consisted of Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia) be returned to France, and threatened Truman with moving France toward the Soviet orbit. Truman, still very new, conceded to DeGaulle. But I don’t think Roosevelt would have. I think that DeGaulle was bluffing, and FDR likely would have called that bluff, and sided with Vietnam’s leaders, and allowed Independence. The French return never would have happened, and the entire history would have been very different. Ho Chi Minh, early on, looked to the US as a model of a colony breaking away from a colonial empire. He quoted Jefferson in declaring Vietnamese independence. History would have been very different. I’m not looking to blame Truman. He brought everything he had to the job, learned quickly, and surrounded himself with very able men. And had things happened even a few years later, he likely would have been far less deferential to the often insufferable DeGaulle. Speaking as an American, I am glad the UK (and the rest of NATO, by the way), stayed out, and wish that US leaders of BOTH parties, had had the wisdom to do the same. A great deal of human suffering might have been avoided. One thing stirs in my memory whenever I think about the Vietnam War Memorial, which lists every American who died in that war. That is this: if we were able to obtain the names of all the Vietnamese who died in that war, and put those names on the Wall, that Wall would stretch from Washington, DC to New York.

Sharpe Royalist Both countries were absolutely wrong to act the way they did, whether it be Egypt or Vietnam. And lest we forget, France and Israel were involved in the Suez operation also. Colonial imperialism is just plain wrong. (Just think how the people of those invading nations would feel if they were on the receiving end. Perhaps Israel would have been justified in a limited action, given the fact that Egypt had a role in cross border acts of terrorism, but that is a different story altogether. Part of the reason for the anger of Eisenhower was the fact that this was all taking place during the invasion of the Soviet Union to brutally suppress a popular revolt on the part of the people of Hungary. When one looks at the entirety of all these events, it could have led to a Third World War.

BBC have done a good work in producing this very educational documentary. This invasion was an example to justify the history behind a continuous conflict in Africa as a result of the land mine planted by Britain and France many years ago. Egypt was in a desperate position and they were fighting for their country. That was exactly what a brave Franch and British men did when Germany and Italy invade their countryside. Apart from that, I didn't like the documentary try to put all the blame on Sir Anthony Eden. Eden was a veteran of WWI who knows exactly what war is, he was a distinguished politician and analyst of foregin policy, he was not a foolish person he was a wise man. So why on earth he make such a decision even when his very close friend President Eisenhower opposed his move? I suspect he was under huge pressure from his own cabinets, advisors and the military. I also suspect he was under huge pressure from the Israeli government( Egypt had blocked Isreal from navigating to its southern probinces so they need to gain control of that rout. I also suspect Eden was under pressure from the French who are facing a problem from Algerian independence fighters supported by Egypt and other African countries. The bottom line I belive Eden didn't act alone, many of the poletical advisors on this documentary seems to wash their hand on a person who can't defend himself any more. Any way it is what it is.

He was instructed by PM Chamberlain to go home and take an aspirin and known to be influenced adversely within the FO, and he ultimately resigned without clear reasons. Churchill knew Eden wasn't as capable as himself and Chamberlain, and Eden again resigned having allowed personal feelings dominate his judgment. He wrote having met Hitler, I rather like him. However he rather disliked Mussolini, and Nasser too provoked him.

22:00 The Egyptians had the legal right to nationalize whatever they wanted provided they paid everyone a just price. This mans reasoning is a selfish one without care for the sovereignty of a country and a people. This flagrant act of terrorism served to expose what more advanced nations with the power to do so are willing to do to safeguard a financial gain. That "operation" geniously crafted is nothing more than organized crime. Im sure the british and french people felt misrepresented as nations who oppose invasions, conspiracies and acts of destabilization as a means to settle a dispute of high importance.

This doc. has good and bad features. It's very good that it shows conspiracy in details, people understand a lot about real decision making in politics by swing it. It's bad that it minimises to below minimum the real cause, the Soviet threat, showing instead their intervention in Budapest to stop a proven Us-Uk plot. It does not even read the text of that letter, the real cause, that the nuclear USSR would knock Israel, Britain and France, at that time all non-nuclear powers, out of the map with nukes. That was the only and real reason, as a draw upon currency is a too small thing to stop a military invasion at such a scale. The USA stood wiły-nilly with the USSR because it did not have the military capacity and the money to support a war against the USSR. Just like today, against Russia. So, with the time, it bought the Kgb masters and they topples their own country. Should we assume the USA is trying to buy the Fsb bosses nowadays? Time will tell, we'll see what comes after Putin.

Like a lot of Britons at the time, (and even today) Eden simply couldn't admit that by 1956 Briton was no longer a first class world power. It was a hard pill to swallow that after hundreds of years Briton could no longer influence world events. US President Eisenhower had made it quite clear that America did not approve of military force being used in the Suez crises, so for Eden to claim that American refusing aid to Briton and France in their invasion of Egypt was an "unforeseen event" was pure BS. In effect, Eden wrote a hot check, and then cried foul when the US refused to endorse it.

Nasser wanted security against a highly armed and aggressive Israel. Britain and the US refused to sell him weapons because they thought he was a communist, which he wasn't. He was seeking a pan-Arab nationalism and eventually the Western powers admitted they were mistaken in thinking he was communist. He was forced into obtaining arms from the Soviet Union. This is all in the history books and easy to find the references to it.

The Arab nations including Egypt attempted to stop Israel militarily but Israel, armed and supported by Britain and France, was too strong. Since that war Israel attacked Egypt a number of times, including an attack on the Egyptian embassy in Gaza, killing many Egyptians.
