They could have benefited though. I'm honestly surprised and disappointed at the total lack of Hundred Days timelines on this site. It makes me think of writing one myself. Thoughts? Ah yes, glory doesn't. But victory does, and that is what was given to France constantly for several years, and...

You mean of course him kicking their arses after they thought they could bring down his ambitions without much trouble, and repeating that cycle about 4 or 5 times before he was finally brought down? Yeah, Napoleon's the one who's untrustworthy. /sarcasm Forgive me if my words seem hostile, but...

Well considering that the people of France practically demanded he return, the Bourbons as usual proving themselves nothing more then incompetent layabouts, would it be right of him to deny France her aspirations to glory? Ambition is not a bad thing, which many people seem to believe. Truly a...

Forgive me for chiming in, but Napoleon himself actually offered peace to the entirety of the coalition once he ascended during the Hundred Days, with no demands for additions to France's borders even. The movie Waterloo, a truly excellent film, dramatizes it a bit but it's shown rather amply...

As a great man once said, OF COURSE!

Very nice maps. Though it may just be me, but I can't see Germany swallowing up all of Trento and Venezia from Italy. Besides the fact that they're overextended as it, and taking so much from their only 'major' (quotes put there for a reason) European ally will incur them a lot of wrath from...

They pretty much annexed those areas in real life though. Hitler was Mussolini's friend, or at least according to both of their words, and in these areas where Italy has a (to Mussolini and the irredentists at least) legitimate claim, Hitler would support them. Perhaps in exchange for giving up...

A good question, but as I stated this is more focused on the European Axis. Japan at least gets some information devoted to her in Axis-victory stories, we're lucky if even Italy gets a mention or two.

Hello, first thread posted on this site. I have numerous What if? questions about WWII, though the search function has answered most of them. And seeing as I don't want to start my first thread by asking yet another question on the sea mammal that shall not be name, I'd like to ask a question...

Good point. Though Napoleon in particular is a sore spot of Godwin's Law for me. As the historian David G. Chandler wrote when Napoleon was compared to Hitler by fellow historian Pieter Geyl, "Nothing could be more degrading to the former and more flattering to the latter."

I just came back to this thread after a couple of days. And I swear, every time I see Napoleon compared to Hitler, I die a little inside. Oh, and I want to slap someone through the internet, but that's normal for when I'm online.

To be fair to Napoleon, he started maybe the war with Russia at best, and the rather badly planned Peninsular War. That's a very negative misconception that irks me greatly. The Coalitions declared war on France, and Napoleon was the defender for most of his reign, and even when he was defeated...

Well there's the general hate some countries like Germany and Great Britain have for him, due to them being his main enemies and all. Due to the US's more Anglo-centric relations, it's my own theory that the British opinion of Napoleon leaked over to the US media, where it's been the main...

Hello there everyone, long time lurker, first time poster! I prefer to watch mostly on this site, never getting into debates, but the Spike show I just watched is so awful it... 'inspired' me to comment here. First off, no, by D-Day the Reich was doomed. I was expecting a somewhat plausible POD...
