Napoleon is exiled to Elba and het returns to France in 1817 instead of 1815 does he have a greater chance against the allies then in 1815?No Specially regarding no presence of large allied armies in Southern Netherlands.
Wasn’t the Coalition keen on getting him to St Helena even before Hundred Days?While it's a very interesting pod... I had a doubt if after three years being exiled Napoleon would have the same fast success that he had in OTL in take over France?
I think that the Restoration regime would have, even I guess that it's probably that Louis XVIII would be more hated and/or unpopular than OTL...
I assume that after three years his regime would be more consolidated and stronger political and perhaps military than OTL... I'm supposing that the regime would be able to at least secure Paris and with the loyalty of the main civil functionary and at least some of his (designated by the king) army generals...perhaps would be able to face to the Bonapartist attempt or at least to get time and delay his advance to Paris.
The Elba island (first) exile choice was decided by the the Treaty of Fontainebleau.Wasn’t the Coalition keen on getting him to St Helena even before Hundred Days?
The Elba island (first) exile choice was decided by the the Treaty of Fontainebleau.
But I think that the choice of St Helena was an later and a British government (Castlereagh and Lord Liverpool) decision rather than an allied option.
Now that would be an interesting TL?Isn't this potentially disastrous for the Americans?
You don't at all think the return of Napoleon contributed to the British looking to exist the war?War of 1812 already ended so how does this TL have direct effects for USA i don't see it
The war was completely over by that time. Not only had the peace treaty been signed, the Battle of New Orleans had happened as well. There’d be absolutely no point in Britain diving back into a useless war, plus they would be breaking a truce within 6 months...You don't at all think the return of Napoleon contributed to the British looking to exist the war?
