Say that the French make their occupied rhine into a French aligned Rhine Confederation.
How does this affect history, and other very important things.
This time, unlike my last TL, I want to avoid France's dramatic population lag and confirm them as the #1 Power, more effectively neutering the UK and Russia.
The lore this time is simple. I want to prevent Napoleon's four greatest mistakes.
1. Not Dismantling Prussia.
2. The Continental...

-Hanover and, Hansa Cities, and other German States in the Northwest of...
You have the freedom to choose when, just be sure to elaborate on the consequences you envision and not get bogged down in the question of Plausibility.
The German Confederation was rather weak and seems destined to be fought over by Austria and Prussian.
Is there a way for a third German player to arise?
