E-book When Egypt Ruled the East
On May 19, 1798 a French fleet under the command of the young general Napoleon Bonaparte sailed from Toulon in order to challenge the power of England in Egypt. He hoped by the conquet of the Nile to construct a French stronghold in the East from which to threaten British power and wealth in India. While the Nile Valley soon fell into French hands, confused political circumstances a home forced Napoleon to return during the following year, and the possesion of Egypt had to be forfeited in 1801.
