Question: Are these other languages learned in the country that opposed the invasion of the Suez Canal as popular as the language that originated in the country with the oldest navy?

france and the uk, the largest shareholders in the suez canal company, saw its nationalization as yet another hostile measure aimed at them by the egyptian government. nasser was aware that the canal's nationalization would instigate an international crisis and believed the prospect of military intervention by the two countries was 80 per cent likely. he believed, however, that the uk would not be able to intervene militarily for at least two months after the announcement, and dismissed israeli action as "impossible". in early october, the un security council met on the matter of the canal's nationalization and adopted a resolution recognizing egypt's right to control the canal as long as it continued to allow passage through it for foreign ships. according to heikal, after this agreement, "nasser estimated that the danger of invasion had dropped to 10 per cent". shortly thereafter, however, the uk, france, and israel made a secret agreement to take over the suez canal, occupy the suez canal zone, and topple nasser. <SEP> when estonia was invaded and occupied by the soviet union in world war ii, the status of the estonian language changed to the first of two official languages (russian being the other one). as with latvia many immigrants entered estonia under soviet encouragement. in the second half of the 1970s, the pressure of bilingualism (for estonians) intensified, resulting in widespread knowledge of russian throughout the country. the russian language was termed as ‘the language of friendship of nations’ and was taught to estonian children, sometimes as early as in kindergarten. although teaching estonian to non-estonians in schools was compulsory, in practice learning the language was often considered unnecessary. <SEP> More than 1.4 million university students were enrolled in language courses in autumn of 2002 and Spanish is the most widely taught language in American colleges and universities with 53 percent of the total number of people enrolled, followed by French (14.4%), German (7.1%), Italian (4.5%), American Sign language (4.3%), Japanese (3.7%), and Chinese (2.4%) although the totals remain relatively small in relation to the total U.S population. Spanish is currently the most widely taught non-English language in American secondary schools and of higher education. <SEP> The Spanish Infantería de Marina was formed in 1537, making it the oldest, current marine force in the world. The British Royal Marines combine being both a ship - based force and also being specially trained in commando - style operations and tactics, operating in some cases separately from the rest of the Royal Navy. The Royal Marines also have their own special forces unit. <SEP> Nasser commended Eisenhower, stating he played the "greatest and most decisive role" in stopping the "tripartite conspiracy". By the end of December, British and French forces had totally withdrawn from Egyptian territory, while Israel completed its withdrawal in March 1957 and released all Egyptian prisoners of war. The U.S. Eisenhower administration condemned the tripartite invasion, and supported UN resolutions demanding withdrawal and a United Nations Emergency Force (UNEF) to be stationed in Sinai. As a result of the Suez Crisis, Nasser brought in a set of regulations imposing rigorous requirements for residency and citizenship as well as forced expulsions, mostly affecting British and French nationals and Jews with foreign nationality, as well as some Egyptian Jews.
