Napoleon at this time was one of many French army commanders, and Egypt was a
secondary theater. So, helping to defeat Napoleon at Acre was not an
earth-shattering event (neither was Reynier's defeat at Maida in 1806 by the
way).
Utter nonsense. Defeat at Acre kept N. from his eastern destiny.
Maida? It was the first defeat of a Napoleonic army on the continent and at the time was considered a very big deal.
