Napoleon Wasn't Actually Short - This 200 Year Lie Will Shock YouAdded:
Did you know Napoleon wasn't actually short? For over 200 years, we've believed he was 5 feet 2 inches tall, but that's completely wrong. Napoleon was actually 5 feet 7 inches, totally average for Frenchmen back then. So, where did this lie come from? British propaganda. They deliberately used old French measurements to make him look tiny in English newspapers. One simple math trick created the biggest historical myth ever. This fake story was so powerful, we literally named Napoleon complex after him, and we still use that term today.
