Alexandria expedition of 1807

The Alexandria expedition of 1807, also known as the Fraser expedition or the 1st Anglo-Egyptian War, was an unsuccessful attempt by British forces to capture the Egyptian city of Alexandria during the Anglo-Turkish War. The aim was to secure a base of operations against the Ottoman Empire and the French Empire in the Mediterranean Sea. It was part of a larger British strategy against the Franco-Ottoman alliance negotiated by Sultan Selim III.
