Any ideas for other 'What If' videos?

It’s simple, really, he doesn’t have to always win, he just needs to quit while he’s ahead. Subtract the invasion of Spain in 1808, and the invasion of russia in 1812, and Napoléon would have continued to be the most powerful man in Europe. He was incredibly ambitious, leading directly to his own downfall. However, in the same respect, without his ambitions he would have never reached the points he did. Truly a double edged sword.

sustainability is more believable if Grand Army never goes to Russia
-
But the French Flag really was just white at some point because of the House of Bourbon, I think.

Si Napoléon avait gagné, cette section commentaire serait en français
-
Oh boy, did somebody say "What If"?
-
Actually, the French royal flag was really white. Back in the days, the defeated armies had to wave their ennemy's flag as a sign of submission, and since France was so powerful and defeated so many ennemies, their flag ended up being used as the official capitulation flag by everyone.

17:38 yeah this achievement is called mare nostrum... Also that map is familiar.
-
If Napoleon was never defeated we would be all eating French Fries......hold up
-
Fun fact: Napoleon is mentioned in Polish anthem: "... Dał nam przykład Bonaparte jak zwyciężać mamy." What translates to: "Napoleon gave us an expample on how to win."
-
Someone: "Napoleon is short" Napoleon: what did you say to me, y o u l i t t l e p r i c k ?

10:40 Napoleon didn't win but we got problems with freedom of press and freedom of speech anyways. I don't know for 100% but I feel like I would rather live in a Napoleonic world than a world that a lot of times acts like you have freedom of speech but only as long as it doesn't go against the leaders...
-
If Napoleon was never defeated, we would be fighting right now the [insert big number]th coalition war
-
17:42 I can see France, Austria and Rusia colaborating to take down an alrady failing Otoman empire
-
I just solved my Rubik's cube after 2 years
-
In his uchrony "L'ange blond", the writer Laurent Poujois situates the inflection point of history in Napoleon's recall of the engineer Fulton to build steamships that enabled him to conquer England.
-
TBF, the white flag literally was the French flag at one point.
-
Talleyrand told the Austrian Emperor to just wait. He said that sooner or later Napoleon would over reach & then this would result him in him falling from power
-
You have given me the motivation to play an Eu4 campaign with France, with a thousand hours and I haven't played one yet XD Let's become the European Union then
-
About the colonial question, I think maybe some efforts to keep the profitable colonies would have been made, IE the french Caribbean and Indian Ocean holdings. Louisiana was considered an expense more than a profitable colony but Islands such as the Martinique or the Réunion were extremely profitable, and the later an important base for any trade with Asia.
