Publisher's Synopsis
""The Suez Canal, The Eastern Question, And Abyssinia"" is a historical book written by William Foster Vesey Fitzgerald in 1867. The book explores the political and economic significance of the construction of the Suez Canal, which connected the Mediterranean Sea to the Red Sea, and the impact it had on the Eastern Question, which refers to the political and diplomatic problems in the Middle East during the 19th century. The author also delves into the Abyssinian Crisis, which was a territorial dispute between Ethiopia and Egypt over the region of Harrar. Fitzgerald provides a detailed account of the events leading up to the crisis and the subsequent military conflict that ensued.
