In 1798, Napoleon Bonaparte launched a bold campaign into Egypt, seeking to cut off Britain’s trade routes and expand French influence. It was a clash of empires in the sands of Africa, a campaign of brilliant victories, devastating defeats, and lasting cultural impact.
From the Battle of the Pyramids to the naval disaster at the Battle of the Nile, Napoleon’s Egyptian expedition revealed both his genius and his limits. The French Army of the Orient marched through deserts and ancient ruins, confronting the Ottoman Empire, British naval power, and fierce local resistance.
Although the campaign ultimately failed militarily, it opened Europe’s eyes to ancient Egypt, sparked the birth of Egyptology with the discovery of the Rosetta Stone, and reshaped Napoleon’s rise to power. This is the story of ambition, conquest, and legacy on the banks of the Nile.
