what if Na/pol/eon never went to war?

>>3277915
war is the thing that legitimizes his rule
a better question would be what if Napoleon stopped at the fifth coalition and never had the Peninsular War

>>3277939

How does he do that?
Reminder that the Napoleonic Wars started when Britain declared war in 1803

Nope

>Matters reached a diplomatic crisis point when the British rejected the idea of mediation by Tsar Alexander, and instead on 10 May ordered Whitworth to withdraw from Paris if the French did not accede to their demands in 36 hours.[42]
>Last minute attempts at negotiation by Talleyrand failed, and Whitworth left France on 13 May. Britain declared war on France on 18 May, thus starting the Napoleonic Wars that would rage in Europe for the following 12 years.[43

Britain had recently lost the previous serie of war (pic related) and they were still buttpained over it

Also Britain was ruled by a monarchs, and european monarchs wanted to restore monarchy in France

>>3278283
As usual, seeing other europeans die fighting France, and get a piece of the cake at the end without having done much of the fighting.

>>3278336
The British Parliament was far more powerful than the monarch's, Britain entered the war to stop France from becoming a superpower, not because they cared who was on the throne.

They basically did
France had taken over the Low Countries (in self-defense as it was an advanced post Austria used to invade France) in the Revolutionary War by kicking the British army from the continent Dunkirk-style

>>3278335
they were threatening to take it and they would eventually take it, britain is always trying to check the power of its neighbors
