November 2, 1956: A day and a month that changed the world
By Victor Sharpe,RENEW AMERICA SEPT 23, 2023

For me, when I was but at the age of fourteen, the events that occurred on November 2, 1956, affected me greatly.
It was while at school in England that word of a British and French attack upon Egypt was headline news. The full import of what was to subsequently change so much in the world only emerged during the next days and weeks.
New York, on November 2, 1956, was a Friday and the weather was cool. The United Nations General Assembly was in emergency session. In London, it was cloudy and in the British Parliament the leftwing opposition party was challenging the policy of the Conservative Prime Minister.
