Scenarios about 'suez canal'
The Suez Canal is an artificial waterway in Egypt connecting the Mediterranean Sea to the Red Sea, opened in 1869, which revolutionized global maritime trade by eliminating the need to circumnavigate Africa. This strategic chokepoint has been a focal point of international politics and conflicts, including the 1956 Suez Crisis, due to its critical importance for shipping between Europe and Asia.
