History Portal
Egypt
is one of the oldest nations in the world. Egypt was a world
power in ancient history, and is featured prominently in the
Jewish Torah and the Christian Bible, as well as in the
Muslim Koran. Egypt was a major part of several ancient
empires, conquered
by Alexander the Great,
the Romans, and finally by the Muslim Arabs who originated
in the Arabian Peninsula in the 7th century. Today, Egypt is
the most populous Arab nation, and wields a large amount of
influence in Arab and Muslim world politics. This page

Ibrahim to Greece with a powerful Egyptian army. The
British, French, and Russians intervened to save the
Greeks, defeating a combined Turko-Egyptian fleet at the
Battle of Navarino in 1827. French troops expelled the
Egyptian land forces. The Egyptian portion of the war
lasted from 1825-1832. This war led directly to the First
