Campaigns

The campaign in Italy (1796-1797)
Time after the marriage of Napoleon Bonaparte, began with his army to invade Italy. Before leaving for Italy he told his soldiers: "Soldiers, you are badly dressed and poorly fed. The government owes you much. Major provinces and cities will be yours. There you will find glory and wealth. In 1797, "Little Corporal", name given by his army, gained four Austrian generals, thus giving a peace agreement with Austria, taking in this way several territories to Napoleon

The Egyptian campaign
In 1798, Napoleon invaded Egypt suggested they go to commercial interests of France. On arrival in Egypt was found in a confrontation with Admiral Nelson, where the French were victorious but lost most of its military fleet (only 2 were still afloat ship). This causes an obstruction in the idea of getting to Egypt, so he had to return to France, but was hailed as a hero by the people even so.
