Titel: Opening of Suez Canal, Empress Eugenie,1869
Untertitel: Siehe automatische Übersetzung
Egypt, opening of the Suez Canal, the Empress Eugenie as she appeared at Ismailia, seated on a camel. In 1854 and 1856, Ferdinand de Lesseps obtained a concession from Sa'id Pasha, the Khedive of Egypt and Sudan, to create a company to construct a canal open to ships of all nations. Some sources estimate that over 30,000 people were working on the canal at any given period, that more than 1.5 million people were employed, and that thousands of laborers died. The canal opened under French control on November 17, 1869. The canal had an immediate and dramatic effect on world trade and played an important role in increasing European colonization of Africa. Frank Leslie's Illustrated Newspaper, January 1, 1870.
