In OTL, Napoleon was born in Corsica a year after it was transferred from the Republic of Genoa to France. If this transfer never happens, Napoleon remains a Genoese citizen. Assuming he pursues a military education as ITTL, his military genius will probably still become apparent.

And how successful might he be in such a venture?
