Best Answer

Napoleon was just below the average height. He was not incredibly short, just shorter than most others.

Actually, most of the debate about Napoleon's height (or lack thereof) came from confusion between French and English units of measurement, which were not equal. In fact, Napoleon was about 5 foot 7 or 8 inches, which was roughly the average height for the period.

He was 5 foot 7. Not short. A little less than average both at the time and modern day. Not a midget like he is often portrayed.

Yes he was by modern standards, but he would have been considered average for 1800.
