Having Ferdinand on the throne in that sense would not help too much - the reasons for the ousting of his father would happen to him, too.

Really, so long as there are French troops in Spain, and Portugal opposed to France, it's going to spread to Spain. And before you ask, no, there's no way to change either factor.

No reason at all for Bolivar to change. And, really, without foreign support/the situation of otl in Spain, the rebellions in the New World would happen later than otl. Napoleon has no way of helping them - and any potential rebels, really, won't have really heard of him.

Alexander would not comply with it. Oh, he'd "agree" to it like otl, but actually follow it? No way.

Napoleon could avoid warring with them - though, as stated, I doubt it - but Russia's interests are opposed to his own. And after being humiliated, Russia will not back down.

Paul surviving longer would really have no impact.
