Inside West Africa’s Secret Sexual Revolution

In 1956, Britain launched a secret and illegal invasion of Egypt to seize back control of the Suez Canal. While the military operation was a rapid success, the political fallout was catastrophic. Facing intense pressure from US President Dwight D. Eisenhower and the United Nations, Britain was forced into a humiliating retreat after just nine days of fighting.

The War in the Pacific was born from a growing struggle between Japan and the United States for influence and control in East Asia. Japan’s rapid industrialisation, lack of natural resources and expansionist ambitions brought it into direct conflict with the American and British colonial powers. As tensions escalated, the American trade embargo left Japan facing a stark choice: accept American demands or go to war. The result was the attack on Pearl Harbor and the opening of a vast conflict across the Pacific and Southeast Asia. The final stages of the war brought another decisive moment: the use of the atomic bomb and Japan’s eventual surrender. But victory did not bring stability. The struggle over who would control the region helped shape the political conflicts that would lead to the Korean, Vietnam and Cambodian wars.
