No. They didn't.
They did maintain a state stretching from the Atlantic coast of France to the gates of Moscow. Now it is certainly debatable how much of that they seriously controlled - I tend towards the notion that they actually governed little more than the ground their solders were standing on - but the Third Reich was a very serious threat during it's heyday, even if it turned out to be mostly a paper tiger.

If Nazi Germany counts as "nearly conquering the world" then Napoleon conquered it.

Did Napoleon align himself with an Asiatic world power that threatened to swallow up East Asia, as well as another European power to subdue Africa? Sure, Hitler was a dreamer if he thought that the Axis could overtake the industrial might of the Allies and the USSR, but that doesn't mean he didn't threaten world conquest.
