In 44 BC, Julius Caesar came to power in Rome, ruling the entire known world save the far off isle of Britain, Egypt, and Macedonia, which would come under the Roman banner under his and his step-sons, Augustus, rule over Europe. Never again was Europe so close to unity as under the Romans. Until, that is, Napoleon Bonaparte. Napoleon had taken a nation at war with itself for ten years, bankrupted, and whose only ally was the fledgling United States across the Atlantic, and turned it in an empire with all of Europe, save Britain, Russia, and Portugal. His infamous invasion of Russia in the winter was his downfall, but what if he negotiated Russia into his empire? Could Britain and Portugal have been brought into France? Fitting to say, Napoleon's first invasion was of Italy, where he would capture Rome. When in Rome, do as the Romans do: Conquer Everything.
