Excerpts: The Suez Canal and Anglo-Egyptian War of 1882

In this short excerpt from our video on Margaret Thatcher, we take a look at the early history of the Suez Canal and the economic and political factors that led to British troops being dispatched to secure European interests in the midst of a nationalist revolution that deposed its ruler Khedive Ismail Pasha in 1882. The conflict would result in a permanent British military presence in the region that would last until the Suez Crisis of 1956.

If the English own the Suez Canal why does it have a Mexican name?

[@heroesandlegends]

Its not Mexican. The name is derived from the town at the mouth of the canal, as-Suways; Arabic: السويس (related to the Arabic word for Licorice)
