a law professor instances to watch the history
well i don't talk today about the sierra cold war
uh... down dot gov massive
arab nationalism the suez crisis
now concepts extension because for one thing when i learned about it religions
where about the cold war
uh... but it's probably important in terms of american history
because this is going to be how we end up becoming
of the major outside power in the middle east
of course we're dealing here with the period after world war two
worse a lot of countries that previously the control of foreign powers
uh... being being given a freedom in one form or another
and he didn't you just want you in this country
uh... d
nasser will rise to the presidency need it
uh... really starting with the movement in nineteen fifty two
protesting british influence in the british presence and eat it
uh... and so that's really background or run away
master will do something interesting becomes president he will declare the
easier it will be non-aligned
uh... meeting that we will not pick a side of the cold war i think here in
america which i think the course being stands for
and everybody had to decide
nasa says he's not going to that he says he's going to do whatever is best for
the ever of world not disputed the entire
arab world
and this is an idea called had an ***
and nasa believes that the air nation should unite
e in become kind of a third major power in the cold war
and they should look out for their own interest
and not necessarily dance to the tune of the americans and seven eighths
uh... nasser will let you know a lot of support here religions have become a
major role figure
he was at the americans uh... by doing things like condemning the french
presence algiers algeria wants independence the french
perfusion again
uh... and recognizing diplomatically recognizing so uh... communist china
he's very very angry
uh... and and it really did telling us that baghdad packed which is a treaty
between iran iraq pakistan turkey and great britain
satellite nato says that all of them what's the matter is a soviet
group
uh... there is a successor matters because uh... rock tunes
ambassador our our courses era
and nasser was uh...
the arab countries all work together nuts but are often turn to the source
arrangements
this is the is is creative tension
of course in america report formats
on the one hand
uh... which is very important to us that we keep the middle east friendly to the
united states of course because of all the oil
which is quite nice resembled
to becomes or here to begin with
but yet i hear uh... we don't like the idea that he's open to dealing with the
soviets and feels that's what it needs to do
well that is what he does and then he's going to take it a part shipment from
the soviets
uh... that
in nineteen uh...
believes i think that the six we are going to respond to that our secretary
of state uh... john foster dogs
uh... forcefulness
by cutting off funding for project we committed to help but you just with
coffee house one dances
uh... large damage if she were to control floods and created and that sort
of thing
and i would say we're not going to help them with the because they had the
audacity had to cut a deal with soviet union because we see the world and
binary terms you're there for mr gas that sort of thing
uh... but we we will not tolerate any when dealing with sounds
on taxes as within myself
and it does this by nationalizing the suez canal suez canal which course
connects
uh... the mediterranean
uh... to the indian ocean in really the entire he's from water
uh... antidote british company was owned and operated by british company a
message that says
we want to pay all the shareholders their current
uh... the car stopped at the close of business on this day
and the next day
the because i won't be easy in egypt will take all profit missiles paid to
the canal
it will be asked him
he also closes the canal complete with free shipping is as we know parents to
be angry
about israel's presence
uh... because they're sympathetic the palestinians were or sam's cells
and this is one for masters proceeds
among the air community around and really help his movement towards a and
arabs
then understand at this time is there something going on for the air a cold
war
and this is a conflict among the arab nations
between i'd those who are republics who have
elected government such as egypt
and those who are monarchies of places like saudi arabia
and now the the monarchy cindy actually much closer line united states
whereas the republic's arena online davidians leaving slide towards the
soviet union which is interesting because here we have a case where
uh... monarchies are pro-american generally
and democratically elected government
are for the soviets that at present strains endemic in cold war
as you can imagine
uh...
it was very angry about the national census list now we're not happy about it
the references very upset not only with master criticizing the french interior
but a french president de mornay is associ south socialist
anything like the from conservative structure
who say that he's uh... soft on communism regard soviet friendly so
there's a lot to gain from standing up to to nasser organizations as well
but first we're going to do is they're going to yet patches scheme
and seemed to go to work like this they're going to get israel to engage in
it and take the suez canal region which israel's happy to do
invented they're going to use the outrage as an excuse to try to
uh... seven mediate
and clear out the celestial region so that it can be reopened to their
shipping
now they intentionally totally united states are going to do this because they
want to get
eisenhower what retinal although the liability of signup
organizing power
will support them and will move in and pressure it not downright use military
force
to get the egyptians do with that one
resistance by the way since we've done so much stuff doron working with the
british
we recently overthrow the government bottom off bouncing around
and actually the british the americans have had something called plan omega
with said that they wanted to get rid of nasrullah timetable was much longer than
what's on that here
it's october of nineteen fifty six
uh... israel invades the now nationalized system now
the french the british
uncw steppin
to stop the fighting
uh... and they order at both sides to retreat
and it was ten miles from the from the combat
well this is the reason occupied since it was israel of course retreats
uh... but that is not down he says this is uh... this is my limited me why
should i have to back up
if he refuses to missiles
and so the british the french attack
uh... at this point america will condemn
uh... the actions
abortion approach
uh... shocking the british and french certainly and progress the world as
eisenhower's not want a massive war in the middle east
any fears that there is no coffee or supply
uh... creating big problems for the united states
to make matters worse master has actually some shows all up and down the
suez canal
so nobody can use it was the first breakfast now
and because i can't have that no one can
and creating a gigantic shipping problem
uh... for europe
so now i think hours of rage the arab world is is is completely up in arms an
oil crisis is looming allies and i was going to take decisive action
he's actually going to cut off all western oil to europe
intel crisis is resolved preferences for you know
he will not allow the international monetary fund the default england who
needs it
in the the value of the pals proctor
he conference economic sanctions on israel
uh... you can imagine that in today's political climate but that's what i've
heard a
uh... in that works uh... the british the french israelis leave behind the
egypt essentially goes back to the way it was in terms of territory
um... but the long-term effects of the dramatic uh... this is really to be the
end of britain
is a major time world out
uh... certainly in terms of bob power in the middle east
uh...
nasser
for his part com
anne
be great world leader he would he will be enormous figure throughout
the remainder of fifties and really too much of the sixties
uh... that are here on a national morbid is really important jeanine american and
world history
uh... and of course
this is a vacuum
for western interests in the middle east in america is is this for this afternoon
and become the primary outside power
in the middle east
we had before this time pretty much left that up to bring move course of the
great world power
but after the humiliation here
uh... in this email in both the french in the british prime minister will
resign from the year
uh... larson over this issue
with with those two countries all over it was britain's parliament least it
will be the americans to move in
and begin getting their hands dirty directly purple
eisenhower all created for the eisenhower doctrine uh... which are
going to probably section and it says that we are going to move to prevent
art to help in the country brandeis soviet communism
wishful creates set the stage for summer future bombs
marian's world
uh... as the master
uh... will actually begin to get a little bit better in just a couple years
because of a group of egyptian communist formerly sasser arabella instability
industry you get the truth where death is not
sided with the soviets he puts them down as well
uh... masters not picking a team
uh... at times he does what america wants onto this looks so beautiful
uh... in denial actually recesses ki
that's what will go on to to try to create
in massive ever stating your actually worksheet at this friends not taken
mirchi just under his rule
uh... orders president anyway
uh... with syria from nineteen fifty eight to to mental that falls apart
nineteen sixty one
i mean he will be done in the most of the arab world looks to for leadership
intel his own proceeds will go away
by disasters failed wars against the israelis
uh... eventually jeff will cave uh... on this idea of needing american uh...
military financially
when anwar sadat
uh... basically cuts a deal to sophomore towards israel recognize its right to
exist
in exchange for american economic military
uh... which is uh...
that process is now but consider uh... in and of course finalized by jimmy
carter
instantly after sadat's assassination preston
presidents uh... feature to become
uh... bar who of course ecad protested
on risk
u_s_ asorio of uh... masur
internationalism
uh... suez crisis and how america got so involved
in the middle east
but i also want to be to think about colin thing about that story and we're
so conditioned to think of it
is there to talk to the world
and everybody could decide
animals a swamp retention
uh... the battered national accepted that and and and massive itself
and uh...
it's an interesting thing about something that happened
you know and i'll see what the history
attack on rival other radio city working nation
