Video on nasser (egyptian president) suez canal (the other side of suez bbc) People tried murdering nasser by so many ways. The world was against nasser, they all wanted him dead. Nasser has 2 choices, fight or surrender. Mahmoud unis is in control of figuring out the difficulties of the canal. Nasser breaks into the british control of the suez canal and takes over and nationalizes the canal. There were a lot of people that were unhappy because they knew the west would get back at them. The west describes nassers behaviors as fascist. The british leader was about to get rid of nasser but they failed because the world saw no reason for war because the egyptians were successful with the suez canal. Eden (the british president is against nasser) he continues to think of ways to get rid of. There is an ultimatum given to egypt to stop fighting with israel.
