1957 CE

Nasser has won a significant victory.

The immediate effect is that Britain and France are finally out of Egypt.

Nasser goes on to nationalize all other British and French assets in Egypt.

The Egyptians now have full control of the canal and its revenues.

The Suez crisis also makes Nasser the hero of the Arab world, a man who has stood up to Western imperialism and has prevailed.
