How it is possible to happen? with what strategy?

Napoleon himself? No, the world would take quite a while to conquer. His descendents perhaps, but only for a while. China would assimilate the conquers like always, and good like keeping Russia under the thumb. Perhaps a federation of Republics/Empires under French guidance?
 
To have him be the actual literal ruler of the world would be ASB.

But have him avoid the disaster of the Russian campaign and have him lord and master of western and central continental Europe, then follow on from his descendants that would be cool.

He didn't say WHICH Napoleon, after all:) Napoleon VII might do it.

The one that the photo shows. We know that an American inventor approach him with plans to build a fleet of steam-engine war ships. But Napoleon believed that they were too unrealistic. If those plans became a reality the Royal Navy will be not match and could have easily invade England. Already the Brits were scared of him more than Hitler 100 years later.

Having steamships doesn't mean that Napoleon would automatically beat the Brits and conquer London. The Corsican artilleryman definately put emphasis on the army over the navy in general, and never had a real good idea of what to do with all those ships.

Besides which, conquering the United Kingdom does not mean he conquers the world. You'll probably suggest that he'd tap into the resources of Great Britain to build his navy and army further, but I'd say he'd have to use all those resources just to keep the population content-- it was already backfiring in Spain, after all.

History doesn't work that way. You can't just snap your fingers and have technology magically develop overnight. And if the British see the French trying something new, what's to keep them from trying it? History isn't a game of Age of Empires, you know.

Yeah, my thoughts turned to Spain and trying to imagine the French holding down the Russian and British populations. Seems very very lengthly and costly. I suppose he can utilized a program of power sharing. Using German, Polish, or Ethnic minority Russians to hold down the former Czar peoples and I have an ironic image in my head of Nap letting the Irish occupy and 'control' the Brits as well. Still though ... the way Spain was handled and acted I have a hard time believing this will go down. But with enough time I suppose you can 'establish' anything.
 
I think by his Russian campaign he was allready starting to show signs of wear and tear, unless an ASB gives him immortality and the armies of Anubis it ain't gunna happen
