What happened during the Sinai campaign, participants, and outcome, and whose careers were affected?

Which one, which side? You have Israel's 56 sham offensive, they colluded with Britain and France to launch an attack through the Mitla pass which would then give Britain and France an excuse to invadeā€¦.I mean protect the canal zone since it's a strategic waterway. Earlier in the year Nasser nationalized the canal to secure a revenue stream which for 70+ years GB & Fr had been collecting as partners in crime, since France convinced the Ottoman ruler in Egypt that a canal would be a windfall for Egypt, he took out loans and emptied his coffers to pay for the work on the canal, then when he wasn't able to service the loans Britain bought a large amount of the debt, France took on some and they were the proud owners of the most valuable commercial and strategic waterway in the world. In 56 the rest of the world saw right through the deception and GB & Fr were forced to abandon taking back the canal. The winner in all this was Israel, the UN came in and set up a buffer zone between them and also guaranteed Israel passage through the straight of Tiran. Also Israel was able to leverage France into selling them Dassault Mystere jet fighters skirting an arms embargo.1967 when the Soviets decided to stir up trouble by telling Egypt to tell Syria Israel was getting ready to attack. It finally got to the point where Nasser ordered the UN peacekeepers to leave, he closed the straights of Tiran, Israel felt if they waited for the Arabs to attack from Egypt. Syria, and Jordan that they probably would be overwhelmed. So June 5 1967 the IAF does a preemptive strike on the Egyptian AF bases first, destroying 90% of their strength on the ground, then Syria and Jordanian air forces in turn. Then Israeli armoured divisions pushed across the Sinai on 3 axees between armour and air the Egyptians dissolved and when Field Marshall Amer panicked he ordered all units to the west side of the canal, instead of an organized withdrawal with rear guard actions that would have saved men and equipment, the Golan heights and West bank including Jerusalem were all occupied. And other than Sinai which finally after a peace agreement was signed was returned 14 years later Israel is still the proud owner of the Golan and the West bank.If you would like to know about the Yom Kippur war in 73 feel free to ask.
