| Description | Cartoon shows a half-submerged ship sunk in the Suez Canal (labeled "Suez Solution"). When British and French military forces intervened during the 1956 Suez Crisis, Egyptian leader Nasser retaliated by blocking the canal with sunken ships. The cartoonist suggests that Nasser's aggressive activities in the Middle East are the primary cause of the crisis. |
