napoleon bonaparte

As I'm sure many of you are aware, Napoleon Bonaparte's French empire was not the last time France had an imperial system of government. His nephew Louis-Napoleon would topple the July monarchy in 1848 and in 1851 proclaimed himself Emperor; a system that would last until his defeat in 1871 by...

We know the chances of a sealion is seen, by pretty much everyone, as zilch, both in the Napoleonic Era and in WW2 (though I see the WW2 one as Hitler trying to scare the British into suing for peace than not actually attempting an Operation Sealion). However, I recently read in a thread that...

In a timeline where Napoleon wins the Napoleonic Wars (the means to do so can be anything from him winning the invasion of Russia somehow, him avoiding his great ulcers that lead to his demise, etc.) In any situation where Napoleon wins, what happens to the Grand Sanhedrin project in the wider...

What would happen if Napoleon's campaign in Egypt is a massive success, and as a result he rules the Nile himself (never returning to take over France) - ultimately reviving the Egyptian religion (maybe Atenism, a more monotheistic interpretation being more palatable to Europeans?) and language...

what if Napoleon married young and had an adult heir whom he always took with him to teach war in battles and politics in court. He never invades the Ottoman Empire and Spain. Along with dissolving the Holy Roman Empire created Hungary with Serbian and Croatian territories and Poland both as...

What is the most amount of land one man (or woman, though less likely for obvious reasons) could conquer in their lifetime? Some great conquerors that come to mind are Alexander, who started but also died young, and Genghis Khan, who was already past his prime when he founded his empire...

Personally I've always had a soft spot for both Bourbon and Bonapartiste France. Let's say Louis XVI doesn't commit outright treason for the Austrians and moderates are able to push a constitutional monarchy with a Chancellor selected and certified by the king and parliament. While France...

Say Naopelon never invaded Spain and didn't go to war with Russia, by dissolving the CS. Thus Napoleon is able to be tolerated by the other countries, He spent his later years on domestic affairs, dies in 1832 from stomach cancer. Napoleon II is crowned Emperor of France, most of the countries...

was it possible for Napoleon to have defended Corsica as kind of a giant Elba? And if not, on the second scenario the text supposes, had Lucien been appointed Governor of Corsica on the 100 days, would it have been possible for the Bonapartes to remain in control of Corsica after the 100 days...

If Napoleon and Josephine had a son early in their marriage, how would this affect the Bonaparte dynasty ruling France? Could this prolong the French empire and possibly prevent Napoleon from losing his throne? More importantly, who would Napoleon marry his son off to if such circumstances were...

Every now and then I think up a new Napoleon victory scenario with a little more knowledge then before, and a different goal. This time I wanted to get Napoleon’s maximum (and extremely generous) somewhat-plausible victory based on avoiding his worst mistakes and making some good ones, and...

Napoleon's first wife was a woman known to posterity as Joséphine Bonaparte or Joséphine de Beauharnais. When he had himself crowned Emperor of the French in 1804, she became his empress. However, because they never had children, Napoleon had their marriage annulled and married Marie Louise of...

"The principal weapon of the Corsicans was their courage. This courage was so great that in one of these battles, near a river named Golo, they made a rampart of their dead in order to have the time to reload behind them before making a necessary retreat; their wounded were mixed among the dead...

Hello everyone So this is something I've been thinking for a while and while I'm not planning on making that into a timeline(for now anyways) Im rather curious about what one could do with it So Im creating this thread both for future me and/or for someone else who may want to understake the...

so there was this woman named elizabeth patterson bonaparte during the late 18th-early 19th century of america. and due to a whole bunch of reasons she ended up having a son that was napoleon’s nephew, from his brother. her marriage ended up getting annulled, though. regardless, she and her kid...

First to set up the players. French Empire- After a more successful OTL campaign Napoleon I rules victoriously over Europe in 1814. The empire transitions into a constitutional monarchy around the mid-19th century and maintains a decent hold over western and central Europe up to the the 1950's...

This is a relatively interesting POD that I came up with: What do you think happens from now on?

This is an overhaul of my previous alternate history scenario. I feel that alternate Napoleonic Victories suffer the same nostalgic unrealism that often plagues WW2 alternate histories. Much like Nazi Germany, France had no realistic chance of invading the British Isle, fully-subjugating...

Let's say for one reason or another Napoleon ends up victorious with no changes up until right before he invades Russia. In the event of such a victory what would be done with Portugal? The Treaty of Fontainebleau splitting Portugal in 3 was created before/with pretense for his eventual...

I originally wrote this TL in Italian, so I apologize for errors or linguistic mistakes. I would have liked to add a map of Europe, but I wasn't able to load it because it said it was too large. If you are intrested in reading my original work in Italian, you can find it here...
