    It is why they are hastily trying to turn the calendar back to 1933 but they might overshoot and get 1789.

          Napoleon was actually about average height for the time. The shortness thing was just British (?) war propaganda to, for lack of a less on the nose term, belittle him in the public consciousness.

          Barron IS still freakishly tall, though. He should either stop doing that or become really good at basketball or volleyball.

            Not to go off on a quite wild tangent from societal collapse but I think beyond propaganda Napoleon was often flanked by tall and hand-picked elite guards and ironically also old aristocracy generals themselves tall from richer diet and so appeared short in comparison.
