could it be, in any way whatsoever, possible that the United Kingdom would set up protectorates in France after Napoleon's defeat?
I'm thinking Brittany and Normandy would be the most logical choice. it would decrease the change of French invasion of the British isles in the future and would make France more reliant on British trade, since major ports are under British protection. maybee the Calais-Boulogne area could be one as well, or might even be reannexatied by the British?
What do you guys think?
