what would had happen if napoleon had invaded the ottoman empire instead of Russia possibly allied with Russia and Austria both who had claims on ottoman lands.
A second chance at Egypt maybe?
That and maybe a shot at India?
The idea that India could be threatened overland from Europe is cloud cuckoo land and always has been. Just think about it: if it's hard to maintain supply lines into European Russia, how on Earth are you going to do it across a couple thousand miles of poorly mapped mountainous semi-desert?
Napoleon invades the Ottoman Empire with the assistance of Austria and Russia. The victory is devastating and the outcome is that:
France incorporates Montenegro in the province of Illyria, annexes Egypt and creates the principality of Albania and the Kingdom of Greece as client states. Also, France gets the Straights.
Austria annexes Bosnia and gets Serbia as a client state.
Russia annexes Georgia, Armenia, Pontus, Bessarabia and Bulgaria and gets Moldavia and Wallachia as client states.

I think Russia would annexes large portions of Anatolia as well.
