While he wasn’t the tallest, it is incorrect to term the man as short and go on to assume that his lust for power and conquest was fuelled by his lack of height. "Le Petit Caporal" was rather of average height when compared to others in the country but he was smart enough to recruit tall and lofty men as his soldiers. Clearly I would not fit that grade, but according to the time period the average height was 5’6’’ and he was 5’6’’ not 5’2’’ and then again his soldiers that surrounded the dwarf, above 6 feet tall. Now if you are short and want to conquer the world, don’t go on thinking you have the Napoleon Complex.
