Thus Spake: *G* *O* *D* *S* *C* *R* *E* *A* *T* *O* *R*
Suez: End of empire.
By Paul Reynolds
World Affairs Correspondent,
BBC News website
Fifty years ago the Suez Crisis erupted over the Egyptian president's
decision to nationalize the Suez Canal.
This first of a series of articles marking the anniversary, looks
at how
the conflict spelled the end of the British Empire.
The Times pronounced not only on Anthony Eden's life when he died
in 1977
but on the life of Britain when it wrote of him:
"He was the last prime minister to believe Britain was a great power
and the first to confront a crisis which proved she was not."
