The Suez Crisis (1956) As A Threatening Challenge To The Commonwealth
Authors : Ouldyerou Saadia .
Abstract
Adopting the analytical narrative approach, this paper explores how the Suez Crisis (1956) created a rift within the Commonwealth. This latter is an association that emerged after the Second World War (1939-1945) to encompass some of the ex-British colonies as one family rather than being under a colonial rule. Under a set of diverse principles, this association was supposed— and still is —to participate in promoting peace instead of waging wars, and its decisions should be built upon consultation and mutual consensus between its different members. However, in 1956, Britain broke those rules by fighting with France and Israel against Egypt in a war named as the Suez Crisis. By doing so, the unity of the Commonwealth was highly shaken.
