Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

After Nasser seized power in 1954, one of his major policies was to nationalize the Suez Canal, which had been owned by the British and French. This move was seen as a significant challenge to Western power and led to the Suez Crisis in 1956. While Nasser did initially lean towards the Soviet Union, he also sought to assert Egypt's independence and neutrality in the Cold War. The restoration of King Farouk was not part of Nasser's agenda.
