What were the results of Napoleon's invasion of Egypt? How did Egypt respond to this European aggression?
What will be an ideal response?
ANSWER:
Students should describe the invasion of Egypt by Napoleon's forces and the power vacuum that resulted as the French, Ottoman, and Mamluk forces all failed to govern Egypt effectively. Muhammad Ali filled this vacuum. Students should describe Muhammad Ali's program for reform of Egypt's military, education system, and government. He based his reforms on the European model and paid for them by seizing Muslim lands and selling wheat overseas. His son Ibrahim launched military campaigns to expand the empire into Syria and Anatolia, but European forces stemmed this expansion.
