Nasser Nationalizes the Suez Canal 1956. The 50's and 60's were the height of the Cold War between the two polarized powers of the world. Many countries of the world were able to use the Cold War to their advantage by receiving competing assistance from both sides in the war. Egypt was no different than these many other underdeveloped nations in that it wanted to use the Cold War to its advantage as well. Mostyn, Trevor Ed.
