Which country built the Suez Canal?

Suez Canal Authority (SCA) is a state owned authority which owns, operates and maintains the Suez Canal. It was set up by Egypt to replace the Suez Canal Company in the 1950s which resulted in the Suez Crisis.

The Suez Canal was a joint French-Egyptian project that began in 1854 and was completed in 1869. Once the canal opened, it was completely controlled by the French.
