Bataille D'Heliopolis
Date

Description
In January 1800, General Jean-Baptiste Kleber, commander of the remaining French Expeditionary Force in Egypt following the departure of Napoleon Bonaparte five months prior, agreed to the terms of the Convention of El-Arish with British Admiral Sidney Smith. This convention would have allowed the safe repatriation of French troops to France; however, dissensions to the exact nature of this agreement led to renewal of hostilities in March. On 20 March 1800, near the ruins of ancient Heliopolis just north of Cairo, two Ottoman armies, commanded by Nassif Pasha and Grand Vizier Yusuf Pasha, met the French army of Kleber. The French forces were able to outmaneuver the numerically superior Ottoman armies due to their greater discipline and tactics. The use of infantry squares allowed the French to repel the continuous assaults of Ottoman cavalry with musket fire whilst being aided by artillery barrages. The results of this battle allowed the French to exert greater control in Egypt until its recapture by British forces in 1801.
