AHC: Napoleon Loses Early

With a PoD no earlier than November 9, 1799, defeat Napoleonic France by 1805. Bonus points for doing it even earlier.
 
could scuppering the Second League of Neutrality (Russia, Denmark-Norway, Sweden and Prussia argeeing not to get involved and fight against attempts to damage their trade routes, which the British Blockade of France did), be the way to go? say by killing off Paul I of Russia a bit early so he never sets his mind onto it ... or prehaps merely making Britain less angatonistic against everyone else, by not seizing a Danish frigate in 1800, and denying to hand over Malta to Knights of St. John (Hospitaliers).

Something to keep in mind on the Napoleon wars was that Britain had a very George W Bush way of seeing the world ... either you were with them fully, or you were against them fully, with very little if any allowences for neutrality

Not that Napoleon was very different in that regard, although he was possibly relatively more lenient in early years.
 
PoD: Napoleon is successfully assassinated in the plot of the rue Saint-Nicaise via Machine Infernale on 3 Nivôse Year IX of the French Republic

That'll do it (IOTL, many bystanders died and Napoleon was badly shaken but essentially unharmed.)
