Lester B. Pearson's Crisis In Canada
To begin with, the former prime minister of Canada, Lester B. Pearson had a diplomatic solution. For example, his solution was to make Britain withdraw from the conflict to end the crisis in Egypt and put peace between Egypt and Western Europe. The Canadian soldiers became part of the UN nation and Mr. Pearson sent the Canadian and the UN forces to keep peace in the area which they did not fight or take a side in. Finally, President Pearson initiated peacekeeping and this was the UN’s first peacekeeping force. This is why Lester B. Pearson is a Canadian hero and won the Nobel Peace Prize. Canada had a significant voice during the Suez crisis by talking it out which stopped the beginning of world war three.

    Following King’s retirement in 1948, Louis St. Laurent became Prime Minister of Canada and took a very different position on foreign policy. Laurent stated that he saw Canada as a “power of the middle rank” and wanted them to take a larger part in social, military and economic international affairs. In 1956 Lester B.

    The Suez War had profound short term significance in many aspects. It can be argued to be one of the first wars in the Arab-Israeli conflict which involved substantial foreign involvement. Although Britain and France were humiliated and lost their influence in the Middle East, it highlighted the rising importance of Cold War politics in the Middle East. Egypt and Israel can be considered as winners of the Suez War; Egypt gained complete control of the Suez Canal and Israel had access to the Straits of Tiran. However, both countries were to remain hostile and the legacy of the Suez War will be conflict, not peace.…
