Please answer the following questions. I'm just looking for a good perspective on each in order to get smart on certain aspects of the Egyptian govenment and foreign policy history. Thanks.
1. Why did Egypt follow a neutral, non-aligned foreign policy in the 1950s?
2. How did France and Britain view Egyptian foreign policy prior to the Canal crisis?
3. What prompted the Egyptian government to nationalize the Suez Canal?
4. What was U.S. policy with regard to Egypt and Israel in 1955-56?
