... Balkans) and worked for Irish Home Rule. He has been seen as a forerunner of Woodrow Wilson, whose crusade for national self-determination inspired millions at the end of World War One, and as one of the founders of liberalism. So how can he have been an imperialist? The charge rests to a large extent on Gladstone's policy towards Egypt in 1882. Here the great liberal ended up presiding over a colonial adventure by which Egypt was turned from an autonomous province of the Ottoman Empire into a British 'Protectorate'' The 1882 crisis was rooted in Egypt's financial relationship with Britain and France, whose financial sectors had lent the country significant sums of money.

... and Skorzeny accepted when the CIA agreed to supplement his modest Egyptian salary. He did so partly on the urging of Schacht, who himself went to Indonesia as an advisor to Sukarno and advance man for Krupp. (90) The consequences of this CIA favour to Nasser and the Nazis were to be widespread and long term. Skorzeny left Egypt after about a year, but he left behind him about 50 former S.S. and Gestapo men, many of them recruited from Argentina and neighbouring countries by Skorzeny's Nazi colleague in Buenos Aires, Colonel Hans-Ulrich Rudel. Among these was the chief post-war theorist of Nazism in Latin America, Peron's friend, Johannes von Leers, a wanted war ...

... . The bowing of Eden at al to US instructions – backed with threats to cause financial chaos to the Sterling area – to stop the fighting is not recorded. Yet surely this is the essential prism through which to view this debacle? One is struck when reading this episode that the UK political leadership could clearly have continued the fighting in Egypt for long enough to have secured complete control of the Suez Canal (another 24, maybe 36 hours) and then have told the US that they would run it in future in a manner similar to the way the US operated the Panama Canal, the jurisdiction and operation of which was not, apparently, open for debate within the ...

... this strategy can be found in the movements of, and close relationship between, Otto Skorzeny and Hjalmar Schacht. (10) In July 1951 Schacht, (11) only just cleared by the last of a series of denazification trials and appeals, was invited by President Sukarno to overhaul the finances of Indonesia. He travelled to Djakarta via Egypt. Here he met privately with the army officers who would later overthrow King Farouk. He also stopped in India, which he visited at the suggestion of Nehru. At this point the Korean war was expected to escalate into a general east-west conflict, an alarming prospect for nations such as India and Indonesia. Both were governed by nationalistic ...

... possession of their own deterrents would give them the diplomatic influence to counter the possibility that the US and the UK would be prepared to threaten the obliteration of western Europe in the event of escalating tension between the West and the Soviet bloc. The second factor was the Suez crisis. The failure of the USA to support the Anglo-French invasion of Egypt led to different reactions in London and Paris. The British determined never again to fall out of step with Washington on strategic issues. The French however felt betrayed and decided that they could not rely on the US to defend European perceptions of self-interest in any circumstances.
