hey, all. a long-standing concept for my ASB ATL is that Napoleon "permanently" won and was never sent into exile, ultimately leading to a French Hegemony over Europe which dominates much of TTL's 19th century history--for narrative reasons, i'm not going to change that. what i eventually decided on for the POD was that there was a definite Napoleonic victory at the Battle of Leipzig stemming from a genuine near-miss IOTL, the gist of it being that some French cavalrymen had the opportunity to chase down and capture some of the Coalition who were escaping on horseback but didn't, who turned out several important Coalition leaders (i can't remember exactly which off the top of my head, but i seem to remember that they included the Kaiser and Tsar of the time)
recently, though, i've been doing some light thinking on that and want to make sure if that would really be enough for Napoleon to completely win and lead to this French Hegemony. i don't really have much else to say, just asking if anyone more informed than i am thinks there would need to be another POD for it to go the way i want it to, and where i should start looking if there is. thoughts?
