Notes
French commercial activity in the Mediterranean witnessed a remarkable development in the eighteenth century, as French ships frequented most Mediterranean ports to transport goods from east to west and from south to north, to the point that they achieved remarkable superiority over the Ottoman ships themselves, to the point that they were transporting goods and products of the Ottoman states to the capital of the Ottoman Empire itself. The Mediterranean ports played a major role in attracting international trade, and the most prominent of these ports were the ports of Egypt, the Levant, Morocco, and Turkey, which facilitated French trade deals until French ships became the most important and most active commercial ships at sea during the eighteenth century. In the midst of this French commercial activity, Egypt played a prominent role at that time, especially after the decline in the role of the Cape of Good Hope Road and the return of leadership to Egyptian roads and ports and its role in linking East and West trade, especially since France contributed to weakening the Cape of Good Hope Road to weaken Dutch and English influence. This resulted in Egypt controlling two-thirds of European trade across the Mediterranean, which attracted many European merchants and communities, especially the French communities. Despite the development of France's commercial activity and the multiplicity of goods that the French traded, such as rice, fabrics, coffee, spices, and leather, French commercial activity was exposed to natural obstacles: such as strong winds and waves, and human obstacles such as military conflicts and piracy, which had their bad effects on the French trade movement in that period.
