1957 CE

Egypt reopens the canal to shipping in April 1957 and runs it smoothly.

It is open to all ships except those of Israel, and it will remain open until the June 1967 War (Arab-Israeli war, also known as the Six-Day War).

Diplomatic relations between Egypt and Britain will not be restored until 1969.
