The primary purpose of this campaign was to “defend French trade interests” and to establish “scientific enterprise” in the region. The Siege of Corfu took place between November 4th 1798 and March 3rd 1799, ultimately resulting in defeat for Bonaparte to the Russians. The capitulation agreed between the French and the Russian victors allowed a provision for the French troops to retreat to Toulon. With the Egyptian campaign then stagnating and political instability developing back in France, Bonaparte decided to return to France. According to contemporary research, he felt that he had nothing left to do in Egypt and that the forces that were left to him were not sufficient for an expedition of any importance. He also foresaw that the army at his disposal was getting weaker from losses in battle and to disease, and that he would be forced to surrender or be taken prisoner by his enemies. Fearing that the Republic’s future was in doubt, Bonaparte left the remains of his army in Egypt in charge of Jean-Baptiste Kléber, setting sail for France on August 24th, 1799. He launched a coup d’état on November 9th 1799, eventually establishing a dictatorship.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"eMedals","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47849584099605,"sku":"EU22038","price":4186.24,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0713\/9105\/2053\/files\/MNC1677.jpg?v=1752611641"},{"product_id":"france-republic-a-legion-of-honour-award-document-awarded-to-sir-cestori-1873-m0046-11","title":"France, Republic.
