This is just a thought of mine, maybe an interesting POD to make a TL from. But how could this be possible? How could France stay a republic, while stopping the wars all over Europe after having annexed the Austrian Netherlands and the Rhineland?
And what would the implications and consequences be?
(By the way, this will obviously butterfly away the Napoleonic Wars!)
