You've probably heard that Napoleon Bonaparte was short, right? 🤔 Well... here’s the truth: he wasn’t! 📜 After his death in 1821, Napoleon’s height was recorded as 5 feet 2 inches. But here’s the twist — that was in French feet, not English! 📏 The French measurement system at the time was different. If you convert it to modern units, Napoleon was actually about 1.69 meters tall — which was completely average for a man in the early 19th century. 👀 So how did the "short Napoleon" myth begin? Simple: British propaganda. 📰 His enemies — especially the British — mocked him in cartoons and newspapers, portraying him as a tiny, angry man to undermine his image. 🎨 Over time, this stereotype stuck. Even pop culture ran with it. Movies, books, even psychology... 🧠 Ever heard of the "Napoleon Complex"? That idea that short men act aggressive to compensate? Yeah — it’s based on a myth. 🎯 The truth? Napoleon’s height wasn’t the problem. It was the history books that got small. 📌 So next time someone says Napoleon was short… Tell them: "Check your measurements!" 🗣️ Share this video if this blew your mind!
