And we arrived to the importance of the region.
Even without the Canal, Egypt and the Middle East was an important bridge between Europe and Asia. Napoleon, at the start of the wars named after him, tried to disrupt the British trade and power by delivering a strike into the area. And the Brits reacted with the force that matched the seriousness of the situation.

How is this important for us, and how this influenced the events on the Hungary?
Well, I think we have to understand how the Anglos view the world, because it's very different from how continental Euros, the French, German, Russian, and of course us think about it. We lament about center/core and periphery, ofc in all of our case the center is at a bit different places.
But the Anglos - either on the Small Island or their isolated continent - think in hubs, choke points, springboards along the sea lanes which help them projecting their power all over the globe. The inland wherever those may be are the periphery. Lands that can be sacrificed and pull back from, to return and take back later. Maybe many decades later. If a rival rises within those lands, the Anglos can blockade them, and harass them from all sides. They can land troops wherever they want. They can make deals with the regimes at places what the central considers as periphery. They enlist them and turn against the rivals.
