00:00History lied to make a man look weak.
00:02Napoleon Bonaparte is often remembered as being unusually short.
00:07But in reality, he was average height for a man of his era.
00:11The idea of him being small came largely from British propaganda,
00:15designed to mock him and make him appear weak and less threatening.
00:19Political cartoons exaggerated his size, and the image spread widely.
00:25Over time, repetition turned the myth into accepted history.
00:29This reminds us that history isn't always pure fact.
00:33It's often shaped by bias, storytelling, and the voices of enemies.
