When Israelis had taken land that was not their own, Egypt was angry so in 1972 Egyptian President Sadat promised a war if America didn't force Israel to return the land. America refused so Egypt asked Soviet Union and when they refused Sadat kicked Soviets out of Egypt.
In 1973, Egypt and Syria attacked Israel, but they were supported by Jordan, Palestine, Algeria, Morocco, Cairo, and Soviet Union. USA tried to talk the Soviet Union out of the war and help stop it, but did not work, and so America started to help Israel, attacking opposing countries. UN forced all nations to ceasefire.
