Description: Good stamp. The Suez Crisis, also named Tripartite Aggression, was an invasion of Egypt in late 1956 by Israel, followed by Britain and France. The aims were to regain Western control of the Suez Canal and to remove Egyptian president Nasser from power. After the fighting had started, the United States, the Soviet Union, and the United Nations got involved diplomatically, forcing Britain, France and Israel to withdraw. Israeli forces remained until March 1957, prolonging the crisis; in April 1957, the canal was finally reopened to shipping. Israel fulfilled some of its objectives, such as attaining freedom of navigation through the Straits of Tiran. As a result of the conflict, the United Nations deployed a blue-helmeted force UNEF to police the Egyptian–Israeli border. British PM Anthony Eden resigned, and USSR invaded Hungary.
