Crisis: Suez Canal
The Suez Canal Crisis of 1956 is one of the most turbulent international crises in recent history. Gamal Abdel Nasser, the populist leader of Egypt, nationalized the Suez Canal, effectively cutting off British and French access to the critical water way. In this committee, delegates will represent a variety of actors that either support or oppose nationalization and will have to work together to determine how the international community will respond to Nasser's actions.
