Since the opening of the Suez Canal for international navigation in 1869, a shift began in the history of the conflict over the Red Sea, as the colonial countries tried to obtain marine stations on the maritime transport route between the East and the West. When oil was discovered, the sea became a vital waterway for oil tankers coming from the Arabian Gulf to Europe, and one of the most important strategic locations in the world for securing energy. Based on this, the sea has connections, and these connections are represented by the relationships that revolve between it and those around it, whether they are natural relationships or conflicts. There are two types of connections, the first is regional connections through which the relations of the political units around it revolve, which are ten units, and the second is international connections formed by the interests of the global political powers towards it.
