Question

what is the message of this cartoon?
england’s navy is about to get sunk by egyptian forces.
england and france will fight for control of the suez canal.
england is about to add egypt to its large empire.
england cannot control egypt along with the rest of the territories.

Explanation:

The cartoon is related to the Suez Canal situation. The Suez Canal was a key strategic point, and England (along with France) had interests in controlling it. The option "England and France will fight for control of the Suez canal" aligns with historical context of imperial competition over the Suez Canal, especially in relation to Egyptian waters (as the cartoon's title suggests). Other options: England's navy being sunk by Egyptians is incorrect (Egyptian forces weren't sinking British navy in this context), England adding Egypt to empire is too broad (focus is Suez), and England not controlling Egypt along with territories is inconsistent with historical imperial efforts.

Answer:

England and France will fight for control of the Suez canal.
