Description
Seventy years after the Suez Crisis, this conversation reflects on the moment many historians regard as the symbolic end of Britain’s imperial era.
Bringing together historians and political thinkers, the event examines the geopolitical consequences of Suez, the emergence of a US-led post-war order and the psychological impact of imperial decline on Britain’s national identity and relationship with the wider world.
The discussion considers how the legacy of Suez continues to shape contemporary debates around power, sovereignty and Britain’s place in global politics.
