About this campaign:
Napoleon's Egypt Campaign, also known as the French Invasion of Egypt, took place from 1798 to 1801. It was a military campaign led by General Napoleon Bonaparte with the goal of undermining British interests in the region, securing French trade routes, and spreading French revolutionary ideals.
In May 1798, Napoleon set sail from France with a formidable force comprising nearly 40,000 troops, including infantry, cavalry, and artillery. The French fleet successfully evaded British detection and arrived in Egypt in July. The campaign began with a series of victories as the French swiftly conquered Alexandria, Rosetta, and Cairo. Napoleon established a government in Egypt and implemented a number of reforms, including the establishment of schools, libraries, and scientific institutions.
However, the campaign faced numerous challenges. One of the most significant was the Battle of the Nile in August 1798, where the British fleet, under the command of Admiral Horatio Nelson, decisively defeated the French navy, effectively stranding Napoleon's army in Egypt. This victory cut off French supply lines and forced them to rely on local resources.
Napoleon's forces faced resistance from both the local population and the Ottoman Empire, who declared war on France. Despite some initial successes, the French encountered difficulties in maintaining control over the region due to guerrilla warfare and the lack of popular support. The arrival of a British and Ottoman coalition further weakened the French position.
In 1801, the French were finally defeated by the British forces led by General Sir Ralph Abercromby at the Battle of Alexandria. Realizing the campaign was no longer viable, Napoleon abandoned his army and returned to France, leaving behind his troops and their Egyptian allies.
Although the campaign ultimately ended in failure for the French, it had a profound impact on both Egypt and Europe. Napoleon's invasion sparked increased interest in Egyptology and the study of ancient Egyptian civilization. The discoveries made by the French during their occupation laid the foundation for future archaeological expeditions in the region.
Furthermore, the campaign's failure prompted Napoleon to refocus his efforts on Europe, where he would go on to become Emperor of the French and reshape the political landscape of the continent.

Hey Guys, just a side line note..
I know most of you already use VPN, for those who don't I use NordVPN, NordPass and NordLocker, I have tried many others, but found Nord to be better and recommend it. It's not the cheapest but neither overpriced, but reliability wise found it very stable easy to use, I've got all the bells and whistles version, you should too...
Get Nord Premium, click this link: https://ref.nordvpn.com/PFezsxkepci
You get 1 or 3 months depending on plan you choose, I got two years, it just worked out cheaper...
GoodLuck!
