1954 CE

This is the period of pacts directed against the Soviet Union.

The North Atlantic Treaty Organization and Southeast Asia Treaty Organization are supposed to contain the Soviet Union in the west and east.

The Baghdad Pact, bringing into alliance Britain, Turkey, Iran, Pakistan, and Iraq, is supposed to do the same on the Soviet Union's southern borders.

The British government is attempting to force Egypt to join the alliance by refusing to discuss evacuation of the Suez Canal base until Egypt agrees.
