* PointOfDivergence: The battle of Trafalgar in 1805. What was in our timeline a catastrophic defeat that scuttled the Spanish navy instead ended on more favorable terms. With his faith in his Spanish allies (and them still having their navy to contest the British at sea), Napoleon never launches the Peninsular Campaign to annex Spain, thus freeing an entire army in reserve for the collapse of the eastern front against Russia (which was as much a disaster as in our timeline). This allowed the war in the east to end with a peace treaty instead of a full surrender by the French, effectively ending the Napoleonic Wars.

** While the United States controls a lot of what was once Canada (sans Quebec, British Columbia and Newfoundland), they lost Texas, Arizona, New Mexico, California, Utah, Washington and Oregon to Mexico and are still sore because of the fact.
