Napoleon Bonaparte The Egyptian Campaign
In 1798, a vast armada left the French port of Toulon on a mysterious military expedition.
The Conquest
The Directoire had ordered Napoleon Bonaparte to threaten English assets in the Indies by planning a lasting occupation of Egypt. But the country had many surprises in store for all on the mission.
The Discovery
Exploring Egypt proved more challenging than anticipated. Between the cultural shock, divergence of interests between the military and scientific communities, and the epic combat with Mamelukes and Ottomans, this was an expedition to remember.
