I need to do a paper on an important event in history and I've chosen the British gaining control of the Suez Canal. How did this affect history? How did it help them control the Raj, China, colonies, did it help them militarily, economically, or in any other way? What were the ramifications in history as whole (outside of how it affected Great Britain)? Thanks in advance.
 
The British failed and gained Arab influence in the region.It marked the end of british capability to take on any power outside the super powers.Not until Margaret Thatcher came to power the military became weak and unable to dominate in the world
