If this were to be some sort of movie, what would you guys title it?
The Emperor's New Clothes
With a nice change of plot, of course.
I need to find the book and read it.

That would be an awesome novel.
Just an idle thought:
Bolivar was apparently a big fan of Napoleon, so what are the chances of him breaking Napoleon out of his exile on St. Helena in the early 1820s?
I tried to do a similar thing with Greece - Napoleon has too much running against him by the time Bolivar and his Hombres might use him! see Napoleon, King of the Helenes if you want some ideas as to how to spring him - you might just be surprised!I'd enjoy reading a good Napoleon in South America TL. To my knowledge it hasn't been attempted yet.
He was poisoned!Now, by no means do I claim to be an expert on anything, but from what I understand he was poisoned w/ arsenic (IIRC), which is what caused him to die IOTL. Like I said don't take my word for it, but if that's true then simply getting away from the island should butterfly his death as he'd be getting away from his poisoner.
I like that, it could be really interesting, i assume, Napoleon will be the general (instead of Sucre) who direct the last battle in Perú, Ayacucho; after that he can avoid Bolivar create Bolivia, in that moment , the friendship is goneWhat I would like is somethign liek this: Napoleon and Bolivar become friends, liberate Latin America, then they get problems with each other. Napoleon goes south and becomes emperor of Peru, while Bolivar becomes president (for life) of Gran Colombia. This starts an eternal rivality.
