EDITORS COMMENTS
In this striking photograph, Sir Anthony Eden, the British Prime Minister, is seen getting out of his car and preparing to enter 10 Downing Street on his way to lunch with Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. The date is October 31, 1956, and the atmosphere is tense. Eden had issued an ultimatum to both Israel and Egypt just days earlier, demanding that their forces withdraw from the Sinai Desert following Israel's invasion of Egypt. The crisis, known as the Suez Crisis, had escalated rapidly, with Israel marching its troops towards the Suez Canal, a vital waterway for international trade and a strategic asset for the British Empire. The Suez Canal had been under Egyptian control since the country's nationalization in July 1956, a move that had infuriated the British and French governments, who saw it as a threat to their interests in the region. Eden, under pressure from France and Israel, had decided to take action, issuing the ultimatum on October 29, 1956. The deadline for withdrawal was set for midnight on October 30. As Eden makes his way to the Queen's residence, the weight of the situation is evident on his face. The outcome of the crisis was uncertain, and the stakes were high. The international community was watching closely as the situation unfolded, and the world held its breath in anticipation of the next move. The Suez Crisis would go down in history as a pivotal moment in the decolonization process and a turning point in British foreign policy. This photograph captures a moment of decision, as Eden prepares to face the Queen and the uncertain future that lay ahead.
