  1. Egypt buys US arms = No Suez Crisis?

    As per my understanding, after the 1952 revolution, Egypt wanted to develop an army and sought to purchase heavy weapons, firstly from the USA, but after negotiations never materialized over the years, they instead turned to the Soviet Union, which culminated in the Egyptian-Czechoslovak arms...

    Avoiding the crisis of the stagflation and decline in the late 60s and 70s

    So Ive been delving into the depths of the world economy during the 20th century, noting down it's bouts of highs and lows. However, the striking degradation of the American and by extension Western economies during that period of latter 60s and into the 70s was particularly striking in how it...

    What If King Farouk of Egypt Bought Monaco?

    In 1953, much of Monaco's small economy was bought up by the Greek shipping magnate (and future husband of Jackie Kennedy) Aristotle Onassis. Onassis became the owner of the principality's most profitable locales and a third of its land. However, by 1955 the Monacan economy had declined and...
  4. AHQ: What would happen if the Suez Crisis esculated?

    In 1956, a brief war between Egypt, Israel, France, and the United Kingdom occurred over the Egyptian occupation of the Suez Canal. The war ended incredibly quickly due to international dismay. What if this hadn't occurred, what if the USA realized that Egypt wasn't trustworthy and helped the...

    Aftermath of a successful Suez Crisis

    Let's say that despite American threats and the Egyptian resistance the French and British manage to successfully intervene in Suez. A few months of occupation in Suez later the Egyptian government falls into anarchy and the country falls into civil war. Israel occupies (de facto annexes) the...

    Patton in Korea/MacArthur in the White House
    Threadmarks: Part I, Chapter 1

    On December 23, 1950, a tragedy occurred in a land that had suffered a tragic six months. Korea, once colonised, now divided, was again a battlefield as the great powers fought for control of East Asia. Having consumed the lives of thousands of soldiers, and untold numbers of local civilians...

    Anglo-French-Israel call America's bluff; Suez Crisis

    As we all know Britain and France retreated from Suez after America threatened economic attack on the Sterling. Well according to economists and historians this was BS on part of the Americans. Burning through the pound by America would have seen the entire American economy crash since the...

    President Richard Nixon in 1953

    Let's say that within a few days or weeks of Eisenhower being inaugurated as POTUS in 1953, the man drops dead from a heart attack or freak accident, leaving Richard Nixon in charge for nearly a full term before the 1956 presidential election. How does he handle things, both in foreign policy...

    WI: US supports UK, France and Israel during Suez Crisis

    What would have happened had United states not opposed, but instead supported aformentioned powers during the Suez Crisis? I don't know how plausible this is, I am just interested what would have happened if the Soviet Union had been the only great power supporting Abdel Nasser's regime.
  11. Are there any good TLs on the Suez Crisis?

    I've been looking through the search function, but that doesn't really turn up anything. I'm specifically interested in TLs or at least PoDs that lead to the US backing the British and French over Nasser or at least not throwing them under the bus. If there aren't any such TLs, then what would...
