The 1956 Suez Crisis: A Study in Allied Conflict

For many years nations have relied, or attempted to rely, upon collective security to make the world safe for democracy and free from aggression. The search for security brought nations to ally themselves with partners who possessed similar goals, aims, or ideologies. From these alliances came the term "Allies." Britain, France, and the United States fought together during the two world wars and fought for a common goal. In the aftermath of World War II the solidarity of the "Allies" showed signs of tension and strain. The outbreak of the Korean War in June 1950 doomed the collective security approach and marked the first major break among the "Allies." This fissure widened into a chasm in the 1956 Suez Crisis.
