1866,the worst scenario for Prussia.

Is coincevable a scenario (start to 1860 circa) in which Russia (and possibly France) intervene aganist Prussia in 1866?
What changes are needed?
 
Ottoman Empire was the best hunting ground for Russia.
Every European Powers (starting to Napoleon I ) could find a good agreement with Czars, pushing Russia to conquest of Costantinople.
Not a bad idea for Bonaparte...he Roman Emperor of West and Aleksandr I Roman Emperor of the East.
Tellus Stabilita" .

Napoleon III fought a war against Russia to prevent this exact scenario of Russia becoming too powerful and gainig the Turkish straits just 10 years ago.
Why would he suddenly change his mind about it. The French aren't that desperate yet.
The British wouldn't be amused either, and Nappy was quite eager to avoid any quarrels with Britain IIRC.

I thought about it for a while but Napoleon and France was actually more likely to ally with the Ottomans against Russia. There was a solid alliance between the two.
