The revolution had brought about the end of the monarchy and the rise of Napoleon Bonaparte as the leader of France. In 1799, Napoleon was in Egypt, leading a campaign against the British and their allies in the Ottoman Empire. The campaign was ultimately unsuccessful, and Napoleon returned to France in 1799. He seized control of the government and established himself as First Consul, effectively becoming the dictator of France.In the United States, George Washington, the first President of the United States, died on December 14, 1799. His death was a significant loss for the young nation, as he had played a vital role in its founding and establishment.In Ireland, the United Irishmen's rebellion against British rule broke out in 1798, but was brutally suppressed in 1799. The rebellion, which aimed to unite Catholics and Protestants in Ireland and secure independence from British rule, resulted in the execution of many of its leaders and the transportation of thousands of others to penal colonies.In India, the British East India Company, which controlled much of the subcontinent on behalf of the British government, continued to expand its power and influence. The company had been granted a monopoly on trade with China in 1793, and in 1799, it gained control of the city of Mysore, further solidifying its control over southern India.In the field of science, the Rosetta Stone was discovered in Egypt by French soldiers in 1799. The stone, which is inscribed with a text in three scripts, including hieroglyphics, was instrumental in the eventual decipherment of ancient Egyptian writing.In conclusion, 1799 was a year marked by political and military conflict, as well as significant social and economic changes. The French Revolution continued to shape the political landscape of Europe, while the transatlantic trade and the British East India Company's expanding influence in India were some of the examples of the changes that were taking place in the world. Science also made significant progress with the discovery of the Rosetta Stone.
