Louis Bonaparte was a younger brother of Emperor Napoleon I of France.
Napoleon made Louis King of the Kingdom of Holland in 1806.
Suppose Napoleon had made his elder brother Joseph King of the Kingdom of Holland instead.

This would have entailed Napoleon having a quite different vision about the role of the Netherlands - considering the personal characters of Joseph and Louis.

Joseph's daughter married Louis' son, anyway.
