In 1798, General Bonaparte proposed an expedition to seize Egypt as a good way to protect French trade interests and undermine Britain's access to India.

Triggered by

Action A of 170125 - At the Pyramids for France

Description

In their marching to Cairo the French troops had to fight against the Mamluks which were easily tamed in the socalled 'battle of the Pyramids' but a terrible defeat at the bay of Abu Qir by means of the British Navy skillfully commanded by Admiral Nelson cut the French supply lines. Bonaparte continued his military campaign by attacking the Turks in Syria but both desease and short supplies which weakened his soldiers and the bad news coming from France forced him to leave Egypt abandoning there his troops. Successfully dodging the British fleet constantly patrolling the Mediterranean in search of French presence, he managed to make return to France. Letting alone and without command and precise orders, the French troops found themselves at the mercy of the British troops better fitted and supplied. Even if they managed to win some battles they eventually surrendered to the British, however they were taken home by means of the British navy itself. The Napoléon's expedition in Egypt, even if a complete failure under the military aspect, was a huge worldwide success under the cultural historical aspect: with the French occupation the egyptology, the study of ancient Egypt, was born!
