Ok I'm fiddling around with an idea in my head at the moment and need some help. How would France developed if they find a way to reach a peace in the aftermath of the War of the Fifth Coalition in which Napoleon dies at the tail end of that war and Talleyrand is able to get the House of Bourbon restored to the throne but on French terms. In this effort he is able to get 1802 borders in Europe kept by the French Kingdom but at the cost of some colonies overseas. How would the French go about developing their nation and would they down the line become an even more industrialized nation?
