    It certainly seems so. France and the UK lost so much prestige because of this. It marked a very real end of the British Empire in particular

    Very interesting read. The Suez moment had a new protagonist in the wings ready to take over global hegemony (the US). For the parallel to be exact, China would need to make its desire plain vis a vis Hormuz. It would be a massive Earthquake if China put pressure on the US to stop the escalations, because I think it would work.
