We all know that the Napoleonic invasion of Russia was one of, if not Napoleon's worst decisions ever. A combination of attacking the biggest nation on Earth while still at war with the British and Portuguese and having alienated most of Europe, along with the Russian winter and the extreme scorched Earth policy used caused his downfall. How, if Napoleon had been more successful, would he have treated the Russians, and how would they have reacted? I'm going to assume in this scenario that France doesn't turn on it's ally Spain via some more diplomatic means, that the alliances with the Ottomans and Persians are actual ones rather than just in name, and that Sweden gets in on the fun too. I'm not trying to speculate how they would win, but what the resulting peace treaty would have been like had they won. I'm not as good at pre-1900 history, so this is more of a start for me if thats ok.
