Napoleon invaded Egypt because of 3 reasons:

1) A strong French army in the East would threaten to disrupt England's rich Asian trade.

2) The thought of Egypt as a French colony was an alluring idea.

3) The Egyptian expedition would be infinitely cheaper and less risky than an invasion of the British Isles.

4) European greed
