In 1798, after a series of French victories in Europe, Britain stands alone against France and her allies.
Aiming to strike a major blow against British interests in the Mediterranean, Napoleon Bonaparte leads an expeditionary force to conquer Egypt. But Britain still has the most powerful navy in the world.. and they are in pursuit.
What’s more, the British fleet in the Mediterranean is commanded by Rear Admiral Horatio Nelson, who has a reputation for bold leadership and aggression. When he catches up with the French fleet in Egypt, he will lead a daring attack that goes down in history.

Britain could not challenge France on the land? Waterloo? Spain? India?
So … whatever happened to the gold on board l'Orient?
After this battle Nelson decamped to the kingdom of Naples where he met up with Lady Hamilton for some well deserved rest and tiffin.
your videos are more exciting and engaging than any movie
1:57 – oh how far we have fallen
the French had a ship called "Purple Rain"??? of course..
Fantastic historical video. This battle changed the balance of power in the region. Despite the forces being evenly matched, the British won decisively.
The French made a monumental strategic error by assuming the enemy couldn’t attack from the shoals on the landward side.
The French made similar mistakes in the battles at Louisbourg and Ligne Maginot.
This video increased my understanding of the Nile River

Brueys surrendered all his freedom of action many hours before the battle even started. He should have sailed his left side across his right, and posted it at a right angle to the old right, the very moment the British approached. He could have caught them in a crossfire…
