Switch Napoleon and Washington

This is a very interesting discussion. I've subbed it.

I think, best case scenario for both, that European Washington keeps the peace and doesn't go conquering. I just don't think Washington would do that. He'd probably just end up going against Britain, possibly entailing a lasting alliance with Russia.

With American Napoleon, after reigning victoriously for several years, he dies in an accident, and someone else more agreeable takes the throne and the war is ended, keeping Napo's conquests. That's best-case.

I would also like to see someone seriously claim that Washington could have pulled off an escape-from-the-Elba stunt like Napoleon did.

Oui, moi was very clever in ze way I went about it. :D
