He was black. He just wanted to go home.

>>1507004
He wanted to cross over to India and ally with muh nigga Tipu Sultan who was, at the time, killing the British with rockets.
No joke.

"White supremacy caused Napoleon to blow the nose off the Sphinx because it reminded him too much of the Black man's majesty." -Louis Farrakhan

>Champoleon, the cousin of Napolean

because it wasn't his decision as he wasn't emperor, it's the campaign that put him in the spotlight tho
it was to access the orient and conquer egypt

>>1507004
He was sent by the Directoire to be get killed, like when he was sent in Italy, but he survived and buttraped them.

There's this powerful state in India called Mysore which used to give Britain all sorts of grief. Then they heard about Napoops and their boss, Tipu Sultan, went: "hey, French dude, we should totally ally versus Britain. I give you special trade deals."

Napoops concluded that he needed some avenue that isnt entirely controlled by Britain (i.e. the African coast) so he needed to control Egypt to trade with the Mysoreans.

Makes sense, considering liberal cognitive abilities amount to that of a 10 year old child.

>Why did Napoleon invade Egypt?

>After two months of planning, Bonaparte decided that France's naval power was not yet strong enough to confront the British Royal Navy. He decided on a military expedition to seize Egypt and thereby undermine Britain's access to its trade interests in India.[31] Bonaparte wished to establish a French presence in the Middle East, with the ultimate dream of linking with Tipu Sultan, a Muslim enemy of the British in India.[59]

>Napoleon assured the Directory that "as soon as he had conquered Egypt, he will establish relations with the Indian princes and, together with them, attack the English in their possessions."[60] The Directory agreed in order to secure a trade route to India.[61]

That's interesting, I was told that he was sent off to succeed or be shamed, with the latter being what the Directoire wanted, didn't realise he had a hand in it himself.

I'm not that Anon, but didn't Napoleon plan to build the canal? I could've swore I read somewhere that Napoleon wanted to, but did not have the funds to do so.
