There is always talk about if he had successfully invaded England, or even Russia. I just wonder what if he had more success and have grabbed other countries or went a different direction from Russia
For Example, let's say he had more momentum to go into Portugal. Instead of going east into Russia, Napoleon instead goes north into Scandinavia or South east towards Istanbul.
Would this make any difference in terms of how long his reign is? Holding more territory is harder to hold onto, would he have bitten off more than he can chew?
