Battle of Abukir (1799)
Okay kiddo, a long time ago in 1799, there was a really big fight that happened in a place called Abukir.
There were two groups of people who didn't like each other very much - one side was the French, and the other side was a mix of people from Egypt and other countries who were trying to keep the French from taking over their land.
The French had a big army and they thought they were pretty strong, but the other guys were clever and came up with a plan. They had some ships that they sunk in the harbor to make it hard for the French to move their boats around.
Then, they waited and waited until the French came close enough to attack. The other guys had lots of soldiers hiding in the sand dunes, and when the French got close enough, they rushed out and started fighting.
It was a really intense battle, with lots of noise and people yelling and guns firing. But in the end, the other guys were able to defeat the French.
It wasn't a very nice thing to happen, but it showed that sometimes people need to stand up for what they believe in, especially if someone else is trying to take away their land or freedom.
