Abstract
Following the successful completion of the Revolution in France, the French government sought to export their revolutionary philosophy to neighbouring countries by despatching military expeditions. Thus, in 1797 Napoléon Buonaparte (1769-1821) led successful military expeditions to Austria and Lombardy (Northern Italy) and in 1798 he led a further expedition to Egypt and the Levant. In the following year he returned to France to lead the coup d’état which installed him as First Consul.
