The attack followed the Preses o Egypt Gamal Abdel Nasser's decision o 26 Julie 1956 tae naitionalize the Suez Canal, efter the widrawal o an offer bi Breetain an the Unitit States tae fund the buildin o the Aswan Dam, which wis in response tae Egyp's new ties wi the Soviet Union an recognizin the Fowkrepublic o Cheenae durin the heicht o tensions atween Cheenae an Taiwan.^[16] The aims o the attack wur primarily tae regain Wastren control o the canal an tae remove Nasser frae pouer,^[17] an the creesis heichlichtit the danger that Arab naitionalism posed tae Wastren access tae Middle East ile.^[18]

Less nor a day efter Israel invadit Egyp, Breetain an Fraunce issued a jynt ultimatum tae Egyp an Israel, an then began tae bomb Cairo. Despite the denials o the Israeli, Breetish, an French govrenments, allegations began tae emerge that the invasion o Egyp haed been planned aforehaund bi the three pouers.^[19] Anglo-French forces widrew afore the end o the year, but Israeli forces remained til Mairch 1957, prolongin the creesis. In Aprile, the canal wis fully reopened tae shippin, but ither repercussions followed.

The three allies, especially Israel, wur mainly successful in attainin their immediate militar objectives, but pressur frae the Unitit States an the USSR at the Unitit Naitions an elsewhere forced them tae widraw. As a result o the ootside pressur Breetain an Fraunce failed in their poleetical an strategic aims o controllin the canal an removin Nasser frae pouer. Israel fulfilled some o its objectives, such as attainin freedom o navigation through the Straits o Tiran. As a result o the conflict, the UNEF would police the Egyptian–Israeli border tae prevent baith sides frae recommencin hostilities.
