( 1950s: )     1956
The year of the Suez Crisis and the Hungarian uprising

1956 was the year of the Suez Crisis.

US Deep State exposure

Sociologist C. Wright Mills wrote The Power Elite about the US ruling class, later bundled under the term "deep state".

Syria

In October 1956, Allen Dulles and Richard Helms met Dick White and George Kennedy Young in London to discuss plans for a coup in Syria. White and Young did not mention Britain's impending attempt to retake the Suez canal.

Hungary

On 1 November 1956, during the Hungarian uprising, Dulles wrongly briefed Eisenhower that "armed force could not effectively be used" by the Soviet Union. On 5 November, however, he told the president that the Soviets were ready to send 250,000 troops to Egypt to defend the Suez Canal.
