    The Axis powers (Germany, Italy, Japan) battled for the control of the Suez Canal to acquire oil in the Middle East and source raw materials from Asia.

    Oil was a critical commodity to increase modernization of its armies, Britain which by then controlled the canal had the first modern army due to the constant supply of the commodity.
