苏伊士运河危机冲击下英国与加拿大传统关系的终结

Abstract:In the early postwar period，the traditional Anglo-Canadian relationship was in the process of loosening，and they had been completely separated in terms of security，economy and politics. Although the traditional intimate relationship between Britain and Canada still existed，it was only based on each other’s emotional needs. 1956，the traditional relationship between the two countries was hit hard by the Suez Crisis. During the crisis，there were differences in their solutions：Britain spared no efforts to safeguard its interests in the canal zone，and finally resorted to force；although Canada sympathized with and always claimed to be willing to help Britain，and experienced a transition from alienation to active participation，it insisted that the major powers concerned should reach an agreement under the framework of the United Nations. Britain’s obstinacy caused dissatisfaction with Canada，and Canada’s failure to provide the help that Britain really wanted also caused resentment from Britain. The disagreement between them in the diplomatic settlement stage of the crisis finally turned into an open opposition after the British invasion of Egypt. Thus，the traditional intimate relationship suffered a fatal impact，and the interaction between Britain and Canada in the Suez Crisis announced the end of their traditional bilateral relationship and the transcendence of the traditional ties of the empire. Suez Crisis become a turning point of the disintegration and transcendence of the traditional relationship between Britain and Canada.
