Napoleon in Egypt: Siege of Acre 1799

Cancel almost all Napoleon's achievements in Italy, and now threatens the Republic with the occupation. It is not time for the best general in France to be far from his homeland, unable to influence the event. The patrie is in danger. Napoleon's next movement is undoubtedly. On the night of August 23, Napoleon silently addressed a frigate near Alexandria, with a small association, including Bowerier, Marmont, Lannes and Murat ... and sails to France. His army only leaves a brief proclamation. "The news of Europe had decided to go to France. I leave the mandate of the army to General Kleber. The Army will hear me immediately; at this time I cannot say more.

I have a hard time letting out very tied bodies." General Kleber does not enjoy his unexpected promotion. "He has abandoned us with Merde's full pants," he says, "When we return to Europe, we will rub our face in it." But Kleber will never return to Europe. Next summer, he stabbed in Cairo for a new Muslim radical. The remains of the French army in Egypt surrender to the British in 1801, after the defeat in the battle of Alexandria. They are subsequently repatriated by the British Navy under the conditions of a peace treaty. Napoleon's expedition to Egypt was an expensive failure for France.

Its objectives, which had always been clear and opportunistic, became impossible after the destruction of the French fleet in Aboukir. Although he has lived for a long time in popular imagination, for each act of fast heroism or romantic legend, there was a moment of extraordinary brutality and terrible suffering. The expedition had a positive legacy. Shortly before going to France, Napoleon was invited to inspect a stone slab that his bodies had taken out of the ruins while building a strong near the city of Rosetta. Dates back to the second century BC. C., the plate was registered by a real decree.

Exceptionally, the same text appeared in the demotic hieroglyphs, Greeks and the Egyptian hieroglyphs. The French had to deliver it to the British according to the conditions of their surrender, so the 'rosette stone' is now in the British Museum. Two decades after its rediscovery, the stone tried the key to unlock the lost language of the Egyptian hieroglyphs, and revolutionize the study of ancient Egypt. This and other discoveries of the French "sages" caused a completely new discipline, the Egyptology, the study of the distant past of Egypt, which continues to fascinate and surprise us until today. Napoleon's trip through the Mediterranean lasts 41 days and includes some shaving near the Royal Navy.

But his destiny was not to stumble for the second time. On the way, he pays his last visit to Corsica and the city of his native ... before going to France ... to take the next step in his amazing promotion in power. Prejudices and erroneous information are as old as history itself. In this video we have seen Napoleon's enemies jump to their actions in Jaffa to describe it as a murderous demon. While the French artists, as predicted, decided to commemorate other parts of the story. Today, with social networks and online news, the number has become 11.
