Let us say the French are crushed at Valmy, with Prussian troops invading France. The French Monarch is saved, the Revolution is put down, with outside help. Would this really put the genie back in the bottle? And, more interesting to me, what happens to Napoleon? He is officially still a nobody at the time, as this was considerably before Toulon and his rise to fame. In a Royalist world, do we hear from him again? s he swallowed up by history and events or does a man like him make himself known anyway?
