Do you know why some brits are mad at the USA?

The telling of the battle for control of the Suez canal dates back to the reasons for its construction. The British Empire, wretched for easier shipping routes to India, opened the canal in 1869. The canal runs through the then British zone of Egypt. After the second world war, many old British colonies began to fight for their independence. When India won its relief in 1949 it signalled the end to an old world order, the old European colonial powers were no longer in charge of the wonderful, the USA and the USSR were the new superpowers. The conflict also has a root in the establishment of the Israeli state in former Palestine in 1948. The final nail in the casket of the British empire came when General Nasser, president of Egypt, attempted to nationalise the canal so that profits derived from its use would go to the Egyptian royal rather than into British and French coffers.
A large conspiracy surrounding the outbreak of hostilities has only recently been uncovered, the British, French and Israeli governments colluded to invade Egypt. The Israelis would invade on a care pretext before the British and French would come to the region in order to 'protect' their interests in theatre.
In military terms, the Anglo-Franco-Israeli validity defeated the Egyptian army. The defeat for Britain and France came in the form of international civics. By the time of the conflict neither country was the dominant power in the west, and pressure from the U.S. (due the fact that Washington was unwilling to condone the Anglo-French actions while condemning the Soviet actions in Hungary) laboured a UN ceasefire upon the region. The conflict formed a turning point in world politics, no longer would Britain and France have a unstinting reign around the world.
