No,Napoleon failed to cross the rubicon.
He failed and forgot to conquer England
Napoleon's opportunity to rise through the ranks was allowed due to the effect of the french revolution which instilled a climate where junior officers could dispute or challenge senior officer's planning of a battle. Since Napoloen was a military genius he did just that at the battle of Corsica and managed to convince his superiors of his plan after they failed at the cost of many lives. His plan worked subsequently and allowed his meteoric rise to Emperor.
Most see him only as the man who defeated Napoleon. His service to the UK as a General Officer and Field Marshall covers 60 battles. His life as the Prime Minister, MP, House of Lords and Commander in Chief of the British Army was equally as impressive.
Spain tied down a large number of troops to fight a guerrilla war and Napoleon failed to overtake the Russians in their scorched earth retreat beyond Moscow.
He was first named the First Consul for life. When that plateau had been reached it was a relatively easy step to advance himself to the rank of Emperor of the French. He made a failed but valiant effort to become the Emperor of Europe. That course of action failed.
He failed to measure up to his fabled greatness and lost at Waterloo.
He failed to defeat Wellington before von Blucher reached the battlefield.
It was essential to divide and conquer, but he failed to defeat Wellington before the Prussians enetered the fray.
