Question

Which European power remained in control of the waterways of the Arabia Gulf, the Arabian Sea and the Indian Ocean for more than a century?

Answer 1

Answer:

The British famously defended the canal from attack by the Ottoman Empire in 1915 during World War I. The Anglo-Egyptian Treaty of 1936 reaffirmed Britain's control over the important waterway, which became vital during World War II, when the Axis powers of Italy and German attempted to capture it.
