The 100 pages that link to Suez Canal, each with the reason it gives.

• Panama CanalCompared with: It offers another interoceanic shortcut, but needs no locks to cross a continental divide.

• Northern Sea RouteCompared with: It is the established alternative for many Europe–Asia voyages, though distance comparisons depend on ports.

• Trans-Siberian RailwayCompared with: It is a major maritime alternative to Eurasian overland freight corridors.

• Grand Canal of ChinaCompared with: Unlike the Grand Canal, it is a short maritime passage between seas rather than a regional inland network.

• Strait of HormuzCompared with: Unlike Hormuz, it is a constructed canal on a route between Europe and Asia.

• Arctic shippingCompared with: It is a major established route that Arctic passages may shorten for some Asia–Europe voyages.

• Cape of Good HopeCompared with: Its opening in 1869 offered ships a shorter alternative to sailing around the cape.

• Canal lockCompared with: Unlike a lock canal, it crosses low terrain without changing ships’ water levels.

• Strait of GibraltarCompared with: Unlike Gibraltar's natural gateway, the Suez Canal links the Mediterranean to the Indian Ocean route.

• Arctic shipping routesCompared with: It is a year-round alternative for many Europe–Asia voyages that Arctic routes might shorten.

• Hay–Bunau-Varilla TreatyCompared with: Its history offers a comparison with the political disputes surrounding foreign control of strategic canals.

• White Sea–Baltic CanalCompared with: Its seagoing scale contrasts with the White Sea–Baltic Canal’s shallow, inland-waterway design.

• Panama Canal treatiesCompared with: Its nationalization offers a contrasting route to ending foreign control of a strategic canal.

• Northeast PassageCompared with: It is the established Europe–Asia route against which Northeast Passage distances are compared.

• Volga–Don CanalCompared with: Its global ocean shortcut contrasts with the Volga–Don Canal’s inland river connections.

• Nicaragua CanalCompared with: Its successful opening in 1869 sharpened international interest in another interoceanic canal.

• Isthmus of CorinthCompared with: Both canals shorten sea routes, but Suez crosses a land bridge between major seas on a much larger scale.

• Kra IsthmusCompared with: Its construction provides a prominent comparison for the canal ambitions associated with Kra.

• Cape Cod CanalCompared with: Like the Cape Cod Canal, it shortens a major maritime route by cutting across land.

• Corinth CanalCompared with: Its global shipping role contrasts with the Corinth Canal's limited regional utility.

• Damietta GovernorateCompared with: It is another Egyptian maritime trade route, but lies far east of Damietta.
