Conquest of areas with much needed natural resources, Russia yes... France not so much.
French empire, yes, and France was never going to let the balance of power switch so favorably to it's rival arguably since Charlemagne died, so France would have been necessary to conquer anyway. Same goes for Britain, eventually, he'd have to force them to capitulate or to invade.
