So this thread got me thinking:
https://www.alternatehistory.com/discussion/showthread.php?t=190472
If Napoleon lives and ends up in Latin America during the exact same time that Iturbide is attempting to commission a European royal to take his place as Emperor of Mexico (would Iturbide have accepted a Prime Ministership and/or would Nappy have offered it?) is it ASB to assume that this is convenient enough to succeed? And what are the effects of Emperor Napoleon of Mexico?
Surely Central America remains under the Mexican Empire and with the build-up of the military and what I presume would be a pretty immediate influx of European immigrants we could see a very different Mexico within decades.
I'm imagining Nappy not living much longer here and leaving the throne to his son (who lives longer) who perhaps marries Sabina de Iturbide, totally legitimizing the line's claim to the Empire.*
Anyway, I'm looking for thoughts, discussions, ideas, arguments, etc. on this and this may be just the thing I need (if it's voted plausible) to jump start my belated revamp of the aborted Maximilian I of Mexico TL I was working on... So please give me some opinions on Napoleon of Mexico. Plausible? Outcome?
*I'm giving myself bonus points for marrying the Iturbide-Bonaparte heiress to Maximilian I... So there...
