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.

He is such an absurd historical figure to read about, the way he could get people to rally around him and make his armies work smoothly no matter what.
It looked like he could just wash ashore naked and alone anywhere, recruit a loyal army from whomever appeared to live nearby, and snowball it into a huge professional fighting force on the way to conquer the nearest city.

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.

Average height has increased over time.

No, not always. There were fluctuations depending on several factors, nutrition being one (and an important one).
Still, 1.68 seems just tiny ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

wrote on last edited by [email protected]1.68m is 5'5" which is yeah short but not too far from the (self-reported) average male height in France today which is 5'9" (1.75m) (Bayesian estimates actually say 5'7" (1.70m)). During Bonaparte's time average male height in France was 5'4" (1.62m) so he was actually taller than average by a tiny bit.
