Not at all, he is in fact way underrated and I am surprised by the amount of of youtubers who just gloss over it whenever the French Revolution or Napoleon are discussed. I am making videos on YT as a hobby and I really wanted to make a series detailing the French campaign and what happened after Napoleon left (yet another glossed over period of Egyptian-French history). But I believe that the impact of the invasion itself was small compared to what happened next. As the struggle for power afterwards allowed the Mohamed Ali Pasha to takeover Egypt, and to cut a long story short, he is the reason why Egypt is an independent country. I made a small series about his campaigns if you wanna check it out (excuse the quality, this is just my hobby :D )

Two of the videos in the Middle East playlist are deleted. Can you check that playlist?

You didnt put a link to the other dude's channel in the description btw

introducing the printing press to the middle east alone had a huge impact on the middle east.

He did nothing but killing egyptain

Glad you liked it!

Hardly. Generals got wise to him after only a handful of years, and he had no chance against the British?

@@silasrocco You mean he had no chance against the European coalitions the British valiantly funded to reduce the influence of France.

@@lykatheaaflame8254 Just read what I wrote to know what I meant instead of guessing u melt?

@@silasroccoou’re way off, the British alone couldn’t beat him on land only on water. He only got beat when all of Europe United against him. His only weakness was he never built up a strong enough navy where British ruled the seas. But on land the British lost most the time against him just like everyone else in a one on one contest. If he had never made the classic Russian winter mistake probably would of stayed emperor.

He was one 9f the worst war criminals in history

Thanks man!

We have alot of work to do undoing the influences of the west in our lands.

Glad it helped!

Thanks man! Check out Sultan Skinny, he's the mastermind behind the script

It is hardly ever an accident. Pagan France polluted their country.

I mean that's exactly what the video title suggests?

It probably would’ve been found much later, or maybe not. In reality who knows?

Yea if he didn't invaded Egypt it's most likely that we wouldn't understand ancient Egypt as we do now but keep in mind that in that time Napoleon's invasion was like a wake up call for Egypt who's being long lost its place in intellectual contribution due to it's being occupied by the ottomans but if -and it's a big if- the rosette stone was found by a waked up Egypt or a not colonial force it's most certainly that we would understand ancient Egypt more clearly and would have most ancient artifacts not looted The irony is that to this day the looting is ongoing rapidly on a governmental scale and the intellectual minds are being oppressed and so we need another wake up call

We eventually would, but later Most likely during the British occupation of Egypt

It would've been found eventually I think. French soldiers discovered it underground while strengthening existing fortifications in Alexandria. Far more questionable would be whether whoever would have found it otherwise would have seen its value and not just dumped/destroyed it. The French discovering it first was serendipitous since part of the reasoning behind the invasion was for a scientific expedition about ancient Egypt.

No, it wouldn't have. One of the main reasons of the expedition was to uncover ancient Egypt. Napoleon took 167 savants with him for that purpose.

Thank you!

Thank you my bro! Say what you want about Orientalist art, it sure does look pretty!

Glad you liked it

@@HikmaHistory---your welcome

No idea but I'd be interested in finding out too!

I think it was brought by Indian soldiers from the British army not napoleon's since it was originally an Indian dish and then they Egyptians put a lot of stuff on it that weren't there originally and it became koshary I'm Egyptian btw

@@Thedimensionalwarrior Fascinating!! Thank you so much for your insight!

Invasion of Russia would have been 2 pronged. Le Grande Armee through Poland and Belarus. Then also from the south possibly, using Arabic troops under French leadership. This could have been a crucial difference-maker if the south army smashed into the Russian industrial military complex area which was Southeast of Moscow. Where the Russians rested their army after abandoning Moscow.

Then he could actualy make use of his Qajar allies and invade from south and west which could have been devastating for Russia and maybe convinced them to leave the coalition against France.

Napoleon invaded the Middle East to bring Jerusalem back to the jews So if he had won you would see something like modern ME today

@@Aceo_0 Didn't Napoleon want to conquer the Ottoman Empire and occupy Constantinople/Istanbul ? And invasion of India by using his Persian Qajar allies was proposed in 1807-1809 so after Napoleon won the Battle of Austerlitz.

@@joerogue231 I heard the India angle as well. Logistically speaking I wonder how that would have done. Considering his attrition rate during the march towards Moscow. Also, his extremely lukewarm European allies, looking to turn on him. Then marching into a high population-dense area like India. But maybe. If he already sort of established a reputation as a liberator in Egypt. Muslim Indians might have turned against the British for him. Would be interesting to look into if there are any obscure diplomatic French missions prior to this to Afghanistan, Persia, India etc.

Dang, bold statement to make - why do you think so?

@@HikmaHistory well Napoleon's actions lead to a geographic and political restructuring of Europe. Borders and families that had stood since the crusades were no longer in place. As a result this caused tension all throughout Europe during the 1800s which is the direct cause of WW1. WW2 is just a continuation of that conflict and all the policies and politics we have in place today come directly from the influences of the time period.

cringe world

Whilst Napoleon obviously lost, it's not fair to think of his reforms dying with him. His legal and political reforms remained influential beyond his lifetime and beyond France as well.

Napoleon did not fight for democracy. He was an absolute monarch who buried the First Republic.

We don't need your democracy kâfir. Keep it.

What would be so special if they would convert?They still would strict seperat religion and the state law!

@@brunoheggli2888 yeah but Napoleon in Egypt and the middle east would've gotten up to some interesting stuff if he stayed and didn't go back to France

Because it's a myth

@@wyattrota9070 because is a fact ,the african nose was conveniently racially butchered however rhe rest of the features of age face couldn't get erased

@@chrisbennett6260 what about the noses of Greek and Roman sculptures also breaking off? It's pretty clear that a nose breaking on a sculpture isn't rare. Also since when was Napoleon this anti Egyptian man? He had more respect for the city of Egypt than many Arabs did at the time

i am in egypt and i am not in Africa so ?? we wuz kangs?

OK Boomer.

@@mdsabahuddin8251 u didn’t even use that term correctly lmao

How is this so? Cuz historically speaking prior to the ottomans occupation. Egypt was a key figure on the intellectual world stage alongside Andalusia and Baghdad's Iraq. actually if it's not for Islam we wouldn't have arguing on a KZfaq channel cuz algorithms and modern algebra wouldn't have been invented. And every word that begins with Al in English U would be right to accuse certain regimes for Egypt's lack of bountifulness But surely u would be wrong to accuse Islam cuz the fact that algorithms -recommend this video to u- refutes Ur claim

@@princeatey don't be an apologist for the root of our misery in egypt ! islam invaded and destroyed our beautiful country they looted our land for hundreds of years , erased the language, and tore down our temples to build their monuments. a culture of destruction , not tolerance thieves and thugs , and the same did happen with christian romans لو انت مصري ... بلاش تهرتل مع الاجانب ,, الكلام دا ينفع مع المغفلين هنا بس

How so?

@@HikmaHistory you make it sound like the Arabs had nothing or were nothing, everything that the world knows now is thanks to the ancient Arabs. We made math, science, physics, banking systems, trade and so much more. The French in particular copied the Arabs and they all wanted Babylon and the beautiful fertile arab lands, their military was only able to build and surpass other armies and technology cause of Syrian architectures, even for Genghis khan, it was the Syrian architectures that made them so effective, even for the rest of the khnas, the Ottomans were first sent from Syria, even they were Arabs. So how do you make a video down grading us cause Egypt was below in the arab world, you do know who make up the Egyptian people right? Greeks, Jews, Syrians e.t.c not so arab. So Napoleon wasn't so great...neither he's French soldiers. At the end of it the got kicked out anyways. You denounced the Ottoman yet it was the longest ruling reign....and they got rid of them at the end anyways, you said the Egyptians liked them, they never did, no one liked a French invasion.... you have a lot to learn about "the Muslim world" lmao how does trying to manipulate a country like Egypt change the Muslim world?

@@HikmaHistory no response? I can help teach you about history from before Islam to wwll....
