'Facts' and Beliefs Almost Everyone Gets Wrong  Napoleon Bonaparte was extremely short. Not true He was of average height for men of that time. Napoleon Bonaparte is often depicted as an aggressive man of unusually small stature, which is where the term "Napoleon complex"—used to describe men who overcompensate for their lack of height with aggression comes from. However, Bonaparte was most likely average height at just over 5'5" tall, History says. Historians suppose the myth that he was uncommonly small is derived from a series of caricatures of the general by British cartoonist James Gillray in the early 1800s.
