Lester B Pearson and the Suez Canal

Canada had party Prime Ministers, some very good and some not so good. Among these members of parliament, there was Lester Bowles Pearson. A Torontonian man who had made many important decisions in the Suez groove Crisis. Lester B Pearson prevented other introduction struggle from occurring with the decisions he made during the Suez Canal Crisis. Pearson prevented the war from occurring by his overall re arrangeation, his achievements forrader the Suez Crisis, and him forming the coupled Nation Peacekeeping Force. His overall personality helped him mentally coordinate for and keep him calm during the Suez Canal Crisis.Pearson had a complex personal reserve that people found difficult to penetrate (Bothwell). It would be hard to persuade him into doing something that he didnt want to do, in this eluding anything that might cause a war. Pearson was the to the highest degree gregarious of men, quick to lighten up serious moments with self-deprecating humor and breaking fre quently into an irresistible smiling (Granatsien and Hillmer). When the Suez Crisis preparation got break through of control, all Pearson did was tell a joke or even smile to change the moods of everyone. Politics is the skill use of a blunt object. In his quote Pearson says, to be a politician it takes skill.Pearsons personality and skill helped him stay calm and relaxed upon making decisions during the Suez Canal Crisis, which in turn helped him think up of the United Nations Emergency Force. Pearsons achievements before the Suez crisis helped him make decisions toward the Suez Crisis. He helped in stopping the Korean fight (Bothwell). Pearsons dislike of war is shown in the quote, the grim fact is that we prepare for war like precautious giants, and for peace like retarded pygmies. He served on a United Nation commission that helped draw up the plan to drop out fire in the Korean War. This gave him experience in handling orld issues. sooner he dealt with the UN organizatio n he was involved with the North Atlantic conformity Organization, NATO (Granatstien and Hillmer). Fearful of the soviet but still skeptical of the American, Pearson contributed patience, tolerance, flexibility, and a superstar of preparation to the formation of the NATO (Granatstien and Hillmer). Pearson joined the army in 1915 and served in WWI (Waite. ) He says, As a soldier, I survived World War I when most of my comrades did not. Serving as a soldier taught him how horrible war is, and how if the Suez Canal Crisis turned into a war, man lives would be lost.All of these little problems helped Pearson prepare for the Suez Crisis. Lester B Pearson created the UNEF in 1956, which prevented another world war from occurring. When the Suez Crisis erupted Pearson knew something was going to happen. He immediately started to propose the idea of the UN Peacekeeping Force, UNEF (Antony). When he was going by dint of all the preparation to make this force he says, As for packaging of p eace congresses we have had out meetings and assemblies, but the promotion through them of the obdurate and effective will to peace displaying itself in action and policy stay to be achieved. He wanted to convert British and French incursive soldiers into peacekeepers at first but then decided to make the UNEF out of the volunteered Canadians. When the Suez Crisis was being debated in the Security Council, Pearson couldnt do anything because Canada lacked a immutable seat (Antony). Since Canada lacked a seat in the debate, Pearson couldnt add his commentary to the situation. He worked closely with all his parties across all division and put together a coalition of support over sleepless geezerhood and nights (Antony).In the early hours of November 4th, 1956 the General Assembly overwhelming, supports Pearsons proposal for the worlds first peacekeeping force. Bowing to the international pressure and the reach of UNEF, British and French forces complete their withdrawal from Eg ypt by the end of 1956. Pearson is praised at the UN for his brilliant his brilliant efforts but he is condemned by some at home for betraying the motherland. Even though he was condemned and he was awarded the Nobel Peace appreciate in October 1957.His overall personality and skill, his achievements before the Suez Canal Crisis, and the creation of the United Nation Peacekeeping Force were only three of many reasons that helped Lester B Pearson prevent another world war from occurring during the Suez Canal Crisis. The world right away would have been different if the Suez Crisis had started a world war, if what happened in World War II where the atomic bombs were dropped in Japan was to of happened because of the Suez Canal Crisis there would be many different effects on the life that is being lived today.
