Austria's Alternative History

What if Napoleon went West instead of going East?: 1800

Welcome to the first chapter of Austria's Alternative History. I will start the Alternative History soon, but I want you to know this is off of my own speculation of what would happen. With all that let's begin.

JANUARY: Napoleon befriends Sultan Selim III of the Ottoman Empire, and the two countries become allies. Napoleon starts to make the French military stronger, and sends diplomats to the French Colony of Louisiana. The Diplomats befriend Native American tribes, and arm them with weapons, and they talk about returning many lands the Americans took from the Native Americans. only if they will become part of the French Empire. Many tribes agree, and America immediately begins to look for allies. John Adams tries to get help from King Charles IV of Spain and Queen Maria I, but they both decline. Napoleon sends a small army to the Iberian Peninsula Charles surrenders immediately after a group of Spanish Rebels invade his castle, and take him hostage Joseph Bonaparte takes the throne of Spain, and orders Charles to be beheaded, and the Spanish Army with French soldiers take Portugal as well, and Joseph becomes King of French Iberia.

FEBRUARY: With the fall of the Iberian Peninsula, and the rise of the French Empire. Brandenburg, Prussia, Bavaria, Saxony, Moravia, Baden, and Wurttemberg start to work with each other to form the German Reich. Other areas of the HRE begin to join with this country. North Italian provinces begin to voice their opinion on forming a united Italy. Napoleon sends his brother Lucien to help form the united Italy. Lucien forms the United Italians party in the Kingdom of two Sicilies. Lucien and the Sicilian army begins to push up into Italy with help with the French Empire. The Papal States, Republic of Venice, Kingdom of Sardinia, Republic of Genoa, Grand Duchy of Tuscany, Trent, Parma, Modena, and Lucca form the Kingdom of Italy which is ruled by Lucien Bonaparte, and the country becomes a puppet state to of the French Empire. The Batvian Republic a French Puppet State (Dutch Empire) is given Louis Bonaparte Napoleon's brother King of the Dutch Empire.

MARCH: Francis II Kaiser of the German Reich declares that the Batvian Republic should be part of the German Reich. The Habsburg Monarchy calls for Francis II to be removed from the throne because he's an Italian, and they fear he will join the French. The Prussians agree, and Francis II is removed from the throne and Fredrick William III is named Kaiser of the German Reich, and he names the Habsburg Monarchy the Austrian Empire and a puppet state of the German Reich. Napoleon begins to get furious every minute because of the removal of Francis II.

On the third day Lee stays at his cousins house, and waits till he hears the news King George III decreases that Great Britain will send troops to help the Americans through Canada. Napoleon makes a speech to the people of France, and says a famous line. "Your people rebel against you, and then you help them fight your enemy you are no King, but a coward who can't fight his own war, but I will push through, and soon I will be your Emperor.
