    Its cause the British and the French while both using feet and inches had different sizes for what an inch was. So a 5’ 2" in France was closer to 5’ 7" in England. But it’s easier to say he is short and didn’t like that.

      So he wasn’t tiny, he was just very short. Gotcha.

          Except in the land of Lilliputians. Also there’s nothing wrong with being short, as you’re implying by taking offense at a statistical fact.

    British propaganda portrayed him with his bones apart, it makes him look smaller.

    I don’t quite get it. Apparently, Napoleon’s height was ridiculed and used for english propaganda, but I often hear that actually, he wasn’t a small person. I looked it up, wikipedia says he was 1.68 m. That’s damn short though.

      5’5" lol that’s the kind of height where you ask girls, “would you date a guy this height?” And you can see them visibly cringe before saying “maybe!”

      Still disappointed that Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure didn’t use the song Waterloo for the waterpark sequence.

    IIRC, the short Napoleon was his grandnephew, Napoleon III.

      The register of the fortress Ham for 7 October 1840 contained a concise description of the new prisoner: "Age: thirty-two years. Height: one meter sixty-six.

      They were about the same height

      Tap for spoiler
