In embarking for Egypt, twenty-nine-year-old General Napoleon Bonaparte and his men set off as much in pursuit of the ghosts of Alexander the Great and Julius Caesar as they did to strike a blow against the hated English. Successfully evading the British ships sent to intercept his army, Bonaparte landed and captured Cairo after defeating the Mameluke overlords. However, Rear Admiral Horatio Nelson finally cornered the French warships in Aboukir Bay and delivered a devastating blow to Bonaparte's plans for Egypt.

It was an epic battle in an age of grand confrontation. The battle of Borodino on 7 September 1812 saw Emperor Napoleon's multi-national Grande Armee set against the Russian Imperial Army under Prince Mikhail Kutuzov. It was the largest single-day battle of the Napoleonic Wars, involving nearly 250,000 soldiers for both sides. When it was over, almost one third of them were casualties. The decisive victory Napoleon hoped for in the 1812 campaign would elude him. The Russians, although badly mauled and forced to retreat, still had the resolve to continue the fight.

After eight years of almost constant warfare, France's new leader, First Consul Napoleon Bonaparte, led his country to victory over the Second Coalition. It had been a close-run thing for France as the allied nations almost won the war in 1799. A flawed strategy, poorly executed, denied the Allies the fruits of their initial victories in Italy and Germany. After popular young General Bonaparte returned from Egypt, he seized control of the government in late 1799 and led a French army into Italy and defeated the Austrians at Marengo in June 1800. A final victory in December in Germany at Hohenlinden, General Jean Victor Moreau, led to the final collapse of the Second Coalition.
