after reading several timelines in the forum I have decided to create and post my first timeline please review and any suggestions are welcome.
POD: Napoleon makes a different choice when his senior officer's mutiny after fall of Paris
4 April 1814 France
Napoleon was furious his senior officers had the nerve to tell him, their Commander in Chief, that it was essential to make peace, or they would detain him and make peace with his opponents in the coalition themselves on top of the Sénat conservateur passing Acte de déchéance de l'Empereur ("Emperor's Demise Act"). He had two options; try to keep on trying to defeat the coalition and risk his officers removing him from power, or make peace and see what terms the coalition shall give. Which would probably be humiliating since his own terms on his enemies were usually humiliating harsh and his opponents would enjoy doing it to him.He began to think of a third option that had been suggested by his supporters flee to America specifically the united states where he could rest and plan his return to power in France unfortunately the drawback was that in the united states he would be an ordinary person and would take a long time to build enough support to attempt a return to France if the united states did not detain him to avoid British anger and the united states had already shown itself to go back on its word by using the excuse that the treaties were with the king of France and not with the republic or empire of France and even dare to attack French vessels, then he remembered from his brother Joseph reports that the Spanish colonies in America were in rebellion and there was a opportunity for someone of his prestige and abilities to rise to be the leader of the rebellion and create a new empire, since as much as he hated to admit even if he manage to regain his empire in the future his supporters had shown to be fickle and would undoubtedly attempt to remove him when the winds changed politically so better get a fresh start in America Spanish colonies and use his reputation and abilities to create a new empire that he could govern and use his experience to avoid the mistake that has him in his current position all he needed for the moment to get his plans started was a ship that could avoid the blockade of British navy and get him and some supporters and millions in gold francs to news Spain since it was near the united states and if his attempt failed to create a new empire he could always retire to united states where he could use the fortune he was planning to run away with to support his attempt to build a new empire.so Napoleon began to plan using only longtime loyalist to find a ship and crew and pick the supporters who would be useful and trustworthy and pick whee in Americans to start his new empire.
