Three Things Learned
-The Suez Canal is controlled by its own department within the national government of Egypt
-The Sepoy Mutiny was carried out against the British East India company and not the British Government
-During the construction of the Panama Canal the United States incurred a quarter of the deaths of the previous attempt by the French
Two Interesting Things
-The Sepoy Mutiny led to the end of the British East India Company
-Political Cartoonists of the age of imperialism chose to portray its practice in a negative light
One Remaining Question
-In this time of crisis in the Middle East, what will become of the Suez Canal and how it is run?
