The Crisis was a major coup for the Alliance of Independent Leftist Republics, since it demonstrated the organisation was capable of holding its own against two of the world's great powers, the Republic of France and Great Britain. It also demonstrated its diplomatic skill in resolving the Hungarian Uprising peacefully, and ultimately brought two new members into its fold: Egypt and Hungary. On a global scale it would set the stage for pan-Arabism's growth and the loss of the Northern French seat on the UN Security Council.
