Success. 1. Why did Napoleon go to Egypt? 1. Expedition to Egypt is an inevitable trend for Britain and France to compete for European hegemony. First of all, the industrial revolution led western countries to compete for colonies, and the Anglo-French war was the main line of the European war in this period. Among many British colonies, India is the "brightest jewel". From 1757 to 1780, the total wealth created by Bangladesh alone for Britain reached 38 million pounds. For such a piece of "fat meat", France after the Great Revolution was naturally salivating. India is far from Britain and passes through Egypt, which is the transportation hub of Asia, Europe and Africa. Therefore, only when France controls Egypt can it hope to control India and deal a heavy blow to Britain. Therefore, Egypt is destined to be the battlefield of the dispute between Britain and France, and France is bound to expedition to Egypt. Secondly, after the disintegration of the first anti-French alliance, France pushed the war abroad. In order to preserve the achievements of the Great Revolution, France is eager to support some subordinate countries around it and establish fenced areas. The Mediterranean is an important part of this fence, and Egypt is located in the south of the Mediterranean. Controlling Egypt is of great strategic significance for France to control the Mediterranean and occupy Italy. From the above two points, we can see that as long as France controls Egypt, it can advance, attack and retreat, and gain the strategic initiative in fighting against Britain. Therefore, France's expedition to Egypt is an inevitable trend for Britain and France to compete for hegemony in Europe. 2. Expedition to Egypt is Napoleon's strong desire. First of all, Napoleon extracted a passage from renard long ago: "Since Egypt spans two oceans and lies between the East and the West, Alexander the Great once imagined that Egypt would be the capital of the world empire and become the trade center of the world. The most enlightened conqueror realized that if there is any feasible way to unite the conquered countries into a big country, it is to regard Egypt as the connection point between Africa, Asia and Europe. " Napoleon wanted to follow Alexander's example and build a world empire across Asia, Europe and Africa. Egypt was his ideal imperial capital. Secondly, Napoleon knew that only by constantly creating military miracles and winning one victory after another can he maintain his lofty position in the hearts of the French people forever, add a mysterious aura to him and seize greater power, so he must defeat France's number one enemy-Britain. However, at that time, the strength of the French navy was limited, and it was impossible to cross the English Channel and invade Britain under the sniper's block. Therefore, it is more acceptable to cut off the British-Indian route to combat British maritime hegemony. Therefore, Napoleon's realistic plan to defeat Britain was an expedition to Egypt. Third, after Napoleon's expedition to Italy, the governor became suspicious of Napoleon and took back his military power. As mentioned above, Napoleon had his own ambitions. He was not a man who had been a servant for a long time. In addition, he was afraid that the governor would hurt him. Expedition to Egypt was the best way for him to avoid disaster, which was exactly the same as "Shen lived in life and death while Zhong Er lived peacefully outside" in the Spring and Autumn Period of our country. Judging from the above three points, Napoleon longed for an expedition to Egypt. In a word, Napoleon's expedition to Egypt was in the interest of France and himself. These are the main reasons for his expedition to Egypt. 2. How did Napoleon expedition to Egypt? I don't want to say more about this, and I won't write about the specific process. You can write it for me if you are interested. 3. What was the main influence of Napoleon's expedition to Egypt? 1. Influence on France and the world: From a certain point of view, Napoleon's expedition to Egypt can be said to be a catalyst to promote the formation of the second anti-French alliance, and the formation of the second anti-French alliance can be said to provide Napoleon with an excellent opportunity to seize the supreme sovereignty of France. Such a chain reaction not only created Napoleon's great achievements, but also created the most brilliant page in French history, and created an international environment in which the principles representing capitalist society quickly spread throughout Europe and even the world! 2. Influence on Egypt: Napoleon forcibly opened the door of ancient Egypt with a gun and ended its isolation. Although it brought war to the Egyptian people, it also gave the flame of the French Revolution in Egypt. Egyptian historians once pointed out: "Egypt experienced a long period of feudal regime rule, and it was not until the French invasion in 1798 that a new page in Egyptian history was opened." Napoleon also brought a large number of experts and scholars and established the "Egyptian Institute". They have made great contributions to the biology, medicine, mechanics, physics and archaeology of Egypt, and compiled a masterpiece "The Account of Egypt". If Napoleon invaded China immediately after he occupied Egypt, would he win? This is a question recently raised by netizens. I want to express my humble opinion on this issue: I don't think Napoleon will invade China immediately after he occupied Egypt. His goal is Paris and Europe, not distant China, unless he is crazy. Of course, if he goes to China, I think he will lose. The main reasons are as follows: First, France is restricted by the international environment. Britain, Russia, Austria, Prussia, Turkey and other countries feared and hated the French Revolution. They will never watch France develop without stopping it, but they will fight to the death with France. Therefore, after the expedition to Egypt, France had no spare capacity to continue its eastward expedition, and it was even difficult to hold on to the fruits of Egypt's victory. Secondly, when Napoleon conquered Egypt, the French fleet was completely defeated by the fleet led by British Nelson in the great naval battle of Aboukir. This war left Napoleon's troops alone in Egypt, lost maritime contact with the mainland, and Napoleon was surrounded. Imagine, how can such an army with no navy, lack of supplies, too long front and tired feet continue to March eastward into China? Even if he was lucky enough to arrive in China, he would be wiped out by the Qing army, and Napoleon was likely to become a prisoner of the Qing Dynasty. Secondly, in 1798, Napoleon moved eastward, China became the emperor's father, and there was a crisis in the prosperous period of the Qing Dynasty. However, the comprehensive national strength of the Great Qing Dynasty was still very strong in the world at that time, and the Qing army was ready to destroy Napoleon's exhausted army of less than 40 thousand. V. Conclusion In any case, Napoleon's expedition to Egypt played a positive role in spreading the fire of the French revolution. With this alone, his exploration is enough to go down in history. Finally, let me end this article with a passage from Napoleon: "I am the new Prometheus, I am nailed to a big stone on the cliff, and a vulture is pecking at my flesh." Yes, I stole the fire from the sky as a gift to France: the fire has risen to its original place, and I was nailed here! Love and glory are like Satan crossing the bridge of chaos and letting hell lead to heaven. Glory connects the past and the future separated by endless abyss. I left nothing to my son. I have to leave my reputation to him. "
