Realistically, there isn't much of a way to prevent the Peninsula War.

In order to keep Charles on the throne, you have to have him not bend to Napoleon. the problem there, however, is that if he doesn't Napoleon just invades - ends up being the same situation, though he'd reign until death and not abdicate.

Napoleon had more or less no reach into the new world. It's not possible for them to become puppets.

I honestly do not think there is a way to prevent him from invading Russia. He needs it to follow his system, but that screws its economy, so it really cannot. It's just a question of "when," in my opinion.

There really isn't any way to keep those cults around.

Robespierre's actions mean that he will eventually get killed by someone. Napoleon apparently could not stand him, either. Nor could the man get the support to become ruler on the same level as Napoleon.
