Is there a possibility that Napoleon Bonaparte when over his head and decided to invade Ottoman Empire? Maybe because of Ottoman rivalry against Austria? Or maybe because he thought that invading Ottoman Egypt wasn't enough?
What POD would do best for this?
Thanks in advance!
Battle of Nazareth and Acre?
Can you be more specific?
Is this in OTL or alternate one?
OTL. He invaded Egypt in 1798 (which was still a part of the Ottoman empire), then went on to Syria, struggled against Djezzar Pasha, then after defeat in Syria, ran back to Egypt. He didn't stay there long as he soon ran back to France with his tail between his legs. Actually one of Napoleons worst defeats, he even abandoned what remained of his army in Egypt.Battle of Nazareth and Acre?

What if Napoleon invaded Ottoman from Europe? From the Balkans?
(without any campaign in Egypt, of course)
Let's just say that capturing Constantinople would be more 'romantic' than just Cairo.
