However, the Ottomans struggled to control Egypt and maintained mostly nominal control of the area. From 1798-1801, [[France Genealogy|Napoleonic France]] invaded and conquered Egypt before being pushed out. Later, in 1805, Muhammad Ali Pasha seized control of Egypt and established a quasi-independent dynasty that lasted until 1882, when the British occupied the country.
