  1. Suez Canal Company

    distinguish Suez company The Universal Suez Ship Canal Company lang fr Compagnie universelle du canal maritime de Suez , or simply Compagnie de Suez for short was the Egypt ian corporation which was formed by Ferdinand de Lesseps during 1858, constructed the Suez Canal between 1859 and 1869, and owned and operated it for many years thereafter. Initially, French private investors were the majority of the shareholders, with Egypt also having a significant stake. When Isma il Pasha became W li of Egypt and Sudan in 1863, he refused to adhere to the concessions to the Canal company made by his predecessor Said. The problem was referred during 1864 to the arbitration of Napoleon III , who awarded 3,800,000 to the company as compensation for the losses they would incur by the changes to the original grant which Ismail demanded. During 1875, financial crisis forced Isma il to sell his shares to the British Government for only 3,976,582. The company operated the canal until its nationalization by President of Egypt Egyptian President Gamal Abdel Nasser in 1956, which led to the Suez Crisis .
