Best Answer

Napoleon Bonaparte's French Campaign in Egypt and Syria (1798-1801) was meant to protect French trade interests, undermine Britain's access to India and establish scientific activity. Napoleon and his army were forced to withdraw after conflict in Europe, creating political disharmony in France and being defeated at the Battle of the Nile.

The main opposition that Napoleon's army had was from the Mamluk Sultanate that had power in Egypt and parts of the Levant. The Mamluks received naval support from the British.
