    The attack followed the President of Egypt Gamal Abdel Nasser's decision of 26 July 1956 to nationalize the Suez Canal, after the withdrawal of an offer by Britain and the United States to fund the building of the Aswan Dam, which was in response to Egypt's new ties with the Soviet Union.[17] The aims of the attack were primarily to regain Western control of the canal and to remove Nasser from power,[18] and the crisis highlighted the danger that Arab nationalism posed to Western access to Middle East oil.[19]
