The Suez Canal


The Suez Canal is a man made water way that cuts through the Isthmus of Suez that connected the Red Sea with the Mediterranean.  This is very important because it aided  European ships to go to colonies in Asia and Africa faster.  Today the Suez Canal is in complete control of Egypt.  In 2007 about 18,000 ships passed through this canal in one year, people use it everyday, therefore the canal is still important in today's world.
