On November 2, 1956, Israel invaded Egypt's Sinai, followed days later by Britain and France, during the Suez Crisis. The invasion aimed to retake control of the Suez Canal, which Egyptian leader Gamal Abdel Nasser had nationalized, and to topple his government. The move drew international condemnation and marked a turning point in the decline of British and French colonial influence.
