1956
Suez Canal.
Britain acted like an empire.
The market disagreed.
They didn’t lose a war. They lost confidence.
The pound lost reserve status. Power moved on.
Reserve currencies don’t fall in textbooks.
They fall when the world stops believing.
Debt exploding. Sanctions everywhere. Allies hedging.
So ask yourself
Is this the Suez moment of the dollar, happening right now?
