01France's attempts to seize Egypt

The four attempts

  • First: in the reign of Louis XIV, aimed at striking the Dutch trade with India that passed through Egypt.
  • Second: in the reign of Louis XV, by requesting that the Ottoman State cede Egypt to France without a military campaign.
  • Third: in the reign of Louis XVI, to ease France's trade with East Asia through Egypt instead of circling around Africa.
  • Fourth: the French Campaign led by Napoleon Bonaparte in 1798 — the only attempt actually carried out.
