In my opinion, the Suez Crisis was a feable attempt by the European powers to set things back to where they were before WW-I (a bit like the Congress of Vienna after Europe was finished with Napoleon). Eisenhower’s response to the Suez Crisis was a clear statement that the European Era had ended (died with Hitler) and future events would be dictated by the United States and Soviet Union.

According to Wikipedia:

The Suez Crisis, also referred to as the Tripartite Aggression,[1] (Arabic: أزمة السويس – العدوان الثلاثي‎; French: Crise du canal de Suez; Hebrew: מבצע קדש‎) (Kadesh Campaign) was a military attack on Egypt by Britain, France, and Israel beginning on 29 October 1956.[2][3] The attack followed Egypt’s decision of 26 July 1956 to nationalize the Suez Canal after the withdrawal of an offer by Britain and the United States to fund the building of the Aswan Dam.[4]
