1 Jul 1798 Jahr - Egypt Campaign

Beschreibung:

Napoleon's next campaign was in Egypt, a British colony, where he confronted the ruling Mamluks, the Turks, and the British. The French Army landed in Egypt July 1, 1798 and won a series of crushing victories on land, including the Battle of the Pyramids, but the campaign bogged down in Syria. Meanwhile, at the Battle of the Nile on August 1, the British Royal Navy completely destroyed the French fleet that provided Napoleon's army with supplies and support, so the army was stranded.
