I've recently taken a bit of Interest in the 1750-1850 period in the last couple weeks due to playing Assassin's Creed and Napoleon Total War. I was just wondering if there is a way for the Napoleonic war to go a bit longer and maybe spread further with a a French Empire that gets more powerful after 1811.

I barely know anything about the Napoleonic era so I'm probably going to sound really stupid. Is there a way for the French Empire to become even more powerful then it was in 1811 and with almost complete control over Europe and at least a contesting ability in the Seas.

I was thinking that maybe the French don't absolutely get trashed at Trafalgar but are given a bit of a spanking. This leads to Napoleon calling off the invasion of england and instead tries to isolate them and begins pouring a bit of funding into the French Navy.

Maybe Napoleon doesn't try and Invade russia instead trying to knock Britain out of the War first. Maybe simply invading Austria to shut down pretty much the only other Hostile country on continental Europe. And as they prepare for the Invasion of Russia he trains his army in cold parts of Europe and begins stockpiling winter clothing and food(although I don't think that's possible with it being 1812 and whatnot)

With that in Mind can the war spread to America. What if the American Revolution failed. Could the war end up there with French colonists on one side and British colonists on the other duking it out. Could the Resources of America help the British and French.

So I know I probably sound really uneducated but like In said I have no idea about that section of History other then what Wikipedia tells me.
