Did napoleon conquer Cairo? (In the context of French Revolution)

Solutions

Expert Solution

Yes, Napoleon did conquer Cairo as well as Alexandria when he led an expedition to Ottoman-held Egypt and Syria in 1793. 

It was the primary purpose of the Mediterranean campaign of 1798, a series of naval engagements that included the capture of Malta. The campaign ended in defeat for Napoleon, and the withdrawal of French troops from the region. Napoleon believed that by cutting off Britain’s trade with India, that passed through Egypt at the time, he could have dealt an economic blow to the British isles, but his plan did not work in the long run as the British and their Ottoman allies fought hard against the French and won.

Napoleon is contemplating four institutions of higher learning as options for a Master’s in Business Administration. Each university has strong and weak points and the demand for MBA graduates is uncertain. The availability of jobs, student loans, and financial support will have a significant impact on Napoleon’s ultimate decision. Vanderbilt and Seattle University have comparatively high tuition, which would necessitate Napoleon take out student loans resulting in possibly substantial student loan debt. In a tight market, degrees with that cachet...

Consider a mid-size city of 3,000,000 people in the Cairo city . Suppose that its residents produce, on average, 6.0 kg a day of MSW. At present this waste is being hauled 180 miles away (in a southeasterly direction) where it is being used to fill in an abandoned open pit nickel mine. The mine and deposited wastes abut a shallow marine embayment. Seaweed, shellfish, crustaceans, and fish are harvested from this embayment and eaten by both the local fishermen...
