Original Note:
Egypt lost the 1973 Yom Kippur War. The Israelis had surrounded and were about to obliterate the entire Egyptian army before the Soviets and Americans stopped it. The Sinai was only returned to Egypt after the 1979 Peace Treaty between Egypt and Israel. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yom_Kippur_War https://2001-2009.state.gov/r/pa/ho/time/dr/97192.htm https://www.upi.com/amp/Voices/2023/10/04/Harlan-Ullman-Anwar-Sadat-Arab-Israeli-war/1301696420040/ https://www.nytimes.com/1973/10/26/archives/trapped-egyptian-force-seen-at-root-of-problem-egyptian-forge-held.html https://www.quora.com/What-would-have-happened-to-the-Egyptian-Third-Army-in-1973-if-the-ceasefire-had-not-been-imposed-Were-the-Israeli-forces-on-the-west-side-of-the-canal-strong-enough-to-maintain-the-siege-Would-it-have-held
