Vive La France!
Part 1


June 18th, 1815, onward: Napoleon is victorious at the Battle of Waterloo and all surviving British and Prussian troops are taken prisoner. Napoleon then orders a march on Berlin but on the way there he occupies The Hague and Amsterdam and he reorganizes the Netherlands into the Walloon Republic, since the Batavian Republic didn’t work so well, and it has more direct orders from Paris. The Walloon government then signs an alliance with France and then declares war on Britain and Prussia.

August 13th, 1815, onward: Napoleon reaches Berlin and in a bold move offers the Prussians a choice: Ally with France, and survive; or be conquered and divided between a reconstituted Poland and the newly reformed Confederation of the Rhine. Prussia, not fearing Napoleons armies, bluntly refuses, and launches an ill planned wave of assaults on the entrenched French forces, costing the Germans thousands of needless deaths.

August 14th, 1815, onward: Napoleon forces the already devastated Prussian Army to fight at the Battle of Berlin, in which the French land a crushing victory on the Kaisers Armies, and true to his threat, Napoleon divides Prussia between a newly re-constituted Duchy of Warsaw, which is then given half of Prussia east of Berlin and a sea coast on the Baltic, and it then is reformed into the Republic of Poland; while the Confederation of the Rhine annexes the rest of Prussia and is reorganized into the German Federation. Both of which, after having their new governments organized, declare war on Britain.

August 22nd-31st, 1815, onward: France signs non-aggression pacts with Spain, the Ottoman Empire, Russia, Sweden, Denmark-Norway, and after long exhausting talks between both nations Emperors, Austria. These 6 nations are free to do as they please and are in no way subject to France
.
September-December 1815: Napoleon prepares France for an invasion of the British Isles.

1816

January-March, 1816: France continues to prepare for his invasion of England.

March, 1816, onward: Napoleon orders the French, Polish, Dutch, and German navies to block the English Channel at all costs, and it is successful, allowing the French Alliance to land 450,000 troops in southern England after several hundred transports cross the channel many times over, and at a cost of over 45 Allied warships, while several hundred cannon and thousands of horses for the cavalry. After establishing a strong defensive perimeter to fall back on should they need it, they begin to push northwards torwards London.

What have the Austrians and Russians been doing during this time ?
Building up there Amries and dealing with issues from the war, which make them less inclined to help Prussia and the Britsh, which is antoher reason they gladly accepted the non-agression pacts.
 
Too late France was exhausted and could no longuer continue the war.
He could maybe negotiate peace if he win Waterloo but there is no way he could go back into conquest... So your timeline is ASB
 
Not a bad writing style (could use a little tidying up and more punctuation) but the content is totally implausible. By the time of Waterloo, Napolean was well screwed. There's no chance of the French Empire rising to glory, and no chance of it invading Britain. I mean, Poland? Seriously? Napolean manufactured the Grand Duchy of Warsaw out of Russian and Prussian territory, but that Grand Duchy had no coast. Where the shit is it getting a navy from?

You've used far too much handwavium. Timelines require actual effort to write, not just "Napolean wins. Because."
 
*Blinks*

Weren't the Austrians and Russians already on the march to meet Napoleon somewhere at the time of Waterloo. I think they were, though i can't be 100% sure. Winning at Waterloo would definitely ensure that he has complete control over France, but he would have to have fought the Russian and Austrian armies somewhere inbetween.
 
IIRC Schwarzenberg had the Army of the Rhine 250.000+ Soldiers and Tolly (Russians) brought another 150.000+

Those are not counting Spanish/Portuguese forces from the South and Troops from Italy (Austrians/Some English IIRC) and other (2nd Russian, Prusssian Northern Army Swiss Army ....)

Even if Nappy sacks the 300.000 of Wellingtons and Bluchers armies with his 200.000 troops + 66.000 training(Armee du Nord 130.000) the Austrians and Russians would NOT want Nappy return.

Lets assume Nappy wins at Waterloo and sacks Bluchers army too (arriving late) his troops wopuld have had losses and be exhausted. Roolling into Germany would let them face first Schwarenberg and then Tolly. - even if he defeats both of them - I doubt he will be able to "conuqer German and prepare an attack on England - (that would require plan 5 from outer space :D)

The royal navy would be able to crush everything that the French could muster btw...


Maybe the allies would accept a peace Borders of 1792 maybe (first Paris treaty).

This in itself would make an interesting timeline... (especially if Wellington and Blucher were defeated and the Austrians and Russians were the only ones with sizeable armies available...
