The campaign was successful, but the destruction of the French Fleet at Aboukir prevented Napoleon's army from receiving reinforcements and supplies

from France, due to the activity of the British Fleet who dominated the Mediterranean. The vital communication with the mother country were limited to sporadic trips carried by some fast frigate which violated the blockade.

The things worsened when in 1799 the Ottoman Empire declared war on France, and, though Napoleon succeeded in defeating or keeping at bay the new enemy, his army suffered losses that were not replaceable.

This situation led Napoleon to abandon the enterprise going back to France aboard of a frigate and to the surrendering of the 30,000 French soldiers of his army, who could return to their homeland only after two years of suffering.
