Reading 18XX descriptions of a certain corsican corporal (especially british ones) I cannot avoid being surprised of how similar they are to 194X descriptions of a certain austrian Corporal.
Thus I cannot wonder: what if the outcome Vienna Congress of 1815 was much more 1945 Potsdam (or at least 1919 Versailles) than the "let's pretend the french were not the bad guys" that happened OTL?
What if it was decided to crush france so that it would no more be a menace for Europe?

1) what could be "reasonable" (but very punitive) borders in europe?
2) what about outside europe?
3) what about the most willing french allies (Switzerland, Denmark, Bavaria)?
4) what the consequences?

the following map is based on a modern-day map of france, thus is more than likely to be not precise.
Be free to amend it.
