Napolean Was Not A Short Person
At 5 foot 7, Napoleon may be considered somewhat short today. But back in the day, he was of average height. For years, the infamous conqueror was depicted as being this petty, pint-sized brat in British cartoons. When he passed away, Napoleon got measured by a few folks who were present. They claimed he was only 5 foot 2, but in the end, this was just a mistake because of the difference between the French and British measurement systems.
