Imagine a scenario where Napoleon Bonaparte's ambitious campaign to Egypt in 1798 ended in complete failure. In this exploration, we analyze the potential ramifications of a French defeat, examining how it could have altered the trajectory of European colonial ambitions in the Middle East. Our hosts will discuss the implications for British imperial strategy, the spread of Enlightenment ideas, and the fate of the Egyptian people under different governance. Join us as we construct a narrative where the failure of this expedition reshapes not only French history but also the geopolitical landscape of the 19th century.
