War and Peace
1)
a) Couve de Murville's prediction was very correct. When the Americans withdrawed all of their offers to help Nasser nationalised the Suez canal so that he could use the it's revenues to finance the Aswan High Dam.
b) When Nasser nationalised the canal the Brits and the French were outraged because they were the main financiers and shareholders of the Suez Canal. They wanted Nasser destroyed and removed.By August 1956 the British and the French were holding meetings to discuss a possible seizure of the Suez canal by force . The French wanted the Israelis to join their side but it would have been a problem because the Brits had a treaty with Jordan. However , when they found out that Israelis weren't intending to attack Jordan any time soon, the Brits, French and Israelis decided to join their forces against Egypt and started to make plans . Israel would attack Egypt and the French and the Brits would send troops into the Suez canal under the excuse of keeping the two sides under apart and the canal open for shipping. In a later made plan the Brits were also supposed to destroy the Egyptian air force so the Egyptians couldn't bomb Israel. Soon the Egyptians were defeated and the Brits and French ordered the Egyptians and the Israelis to no fight withing 16 km of the canal. The Israelis accepted but the Egyptian didn't so the Brits and French sent in their air force and pretty easily defeated the Egyptians for good .
c) The Israelis were supposed to be the '' cover '' to hide the real reason of the war which was that the French and the Brits wanted back the Suez canal. The Israelis were supposed to attack and destroy Egypt. The Israelis agreed to the plan because they wanted revenge on Arabs, plus they could weaken Egypt so Egypt couldn't attack them and they had the support of two ''world power '' countries.
d) The United States Government was one of the causes of the war. If they hadn't withdrawed their help to finance the dam, the Egyptians wouldn't have nationalised the canal and the Brits, French and Israelis wouldn't have had any reason to attack Egypt.
2) The Arabs weren't successful at all in ''throwing the Jews into the sea''. Well they they were successful in getting the UN forces to leave the border and in closing the Straits of Tiran to Israeli ships but when the Israelis stuck back, they completely destroyed Egypt. Egypt lost all of it's territory in Sinai, about half of Jordan was also occupied by the Israelis and much more damage had been done.
3) The ''Yom Kippur '' War between the Arabs and the Israelis was a war that everyone lost because again a lot of soldiers died and it didn't only deepen the anger the Israelis and Arabs sheared but it also made USSR and The US go face to face. The main reason why we can say that nobody won was because when the Arabs understood, that they had lost so much they started to use oil to manipulate the rest of the world and all that resulted in an oil war where all of the world was affected .

a) Arab nationalism was the desire for self-government which would be united by the same language and religion . Arab nationalism was always a threat for the French and Brits, but since the Arabs had been separated for such a long time nobody thought that it would happen but in just some years many Arab colonies started to fight against and try to get rid of their British and French masters. The first Arab League was put together and thanks to the Second World War the Brits and French were weaker and gave the nationalists an advantage . So the nationalist oraganised riots and with the help of US and USSR (which were against colonial power) they managed to free some of the countries under the French and British power.
b)The Front de la Liberation Nationale aka FLN was a merger of other smaller groups and the Organisation Secrete, to obtain independence for Algeria from France . It grew into an army and declared a war copying the tactics that the French used during German occupation . The FLN was quite successful and managed to free some colonies (pouring a lot of blood in the process of coarse ).
c) General de Gaulle led the Free French Forces in the Second World war and later became the president of the French Fift Republic . He decided to end the war between France and Algeria, that of coarse meant that OAS was formed , the French Fist Republic was attempted to overthrow and he was attempted to kill . He just called more troops to his aid and most of them came . Important Generals connected to the OAS were imprisoned and the Algerian war was ended .
d) Palestinian refugees became refugees when they decided to leave Israel in hopes that the Arabs would kill all the Jews in the war and they would once again be the only masters on their land. Things didn't go their way because the Arabs didn't defeat the Jews, quite the opposite actually happened and the Israelis didn't let the Palestinians return after the war was over so they had to remain as refugees in refugee camps. Many people still live in those refugee camps.
