So, Napoleon's invasion of Egypt had many effects, such as causing Napoleon's popularity to rise to the point that he could overthrow the Directory and the whole Egyptomania craze. Now, let's say the Directory decides to send Napoleon elsewhere. Without his invasion of Egypt, what would be some effects?
So, the chaos caused by Napoleon's invasion of Egypt resulted in Mehmet Ali Pasha successfully overthrowing the long-running Mamluk dynasty, and creating his own dynasty in Egypt. In the absence of this dynasty, would I be right in assuming that Egypt does not get modernized, and without the Turco-Egyptian Wars almost leading to its downfall, does it then mean that the Ottomans are more stable than OTL?
