Your information about Napoleon is higly wrong. He wasn't teased in academy because of his stature, he was teased because he spoke horrible French as a child(since it was his second language, his mother tongue being Italian) and because despite his French he was the best student out of all which made all the other boys jealous. He didn't leave Corsica because of power steuggels he was sent to prison because he lead an armed rebellion against the French and killed 2 civilians. On his way to prison he came across the rebels in France and joined them against the government but later switched sides and got pardoned by the king for his help putting down the rebels. The short stature thing is a load of bullocks, he was completely normal height. It was the British propaganda that portrayed him as the "small guy who wants all" and this was reinforced by the fact that there was no metric system yet, and French feet and inch were smaller than the British. This means that if you were 5"4 in France, you were around 6" in England

*I have a challenge for you Pat.* Are there any Washingtons left?

[@Walden-jx4mi]

No, simple answer

[@leartisted3903]

George Washington had no kids

[@mcalkis5771]

He had a stepson who was killed in the revolution. However, he left him a step-grandson. We could look there.

[@AceOfWaffles]

Even though Washington himself had no grandkids, maybe he had siblings who could pass the name on. (Idk if he nad siblings. Maybe he didn't.)

[@FabianCedeno]

I did one of them test and I was told we shared a male figure ancestor. That could be a grandfather. I thought it was cool 🙌🏽. My biological grandfather was Italian. I hope to find out the more information one day.

I met a man with the last name Bonaparte here in San Antonio Texas ..He was making a credit card transaction and I damn near fainted when I saw his last name…Of course I asked if he was related to Napoleon ..He replied ‘I am from the illegitimate bloodline’…😳….About 5”10 in height and looked very much like Napoleon..😁

[@kaiserwilhelm3933]

Well, I would use also use Napoleonic Empire (although it sounds a bit like a Greater Naples) instead of Bonapartist Empire.

[@susantramer6713]

Are there any Bismarck’s left?

[@Alex-fv2qs]

Yes

[@hamiksedrakyan8193]

Napoleon the best general and imperator💪💪💪💪

[@eligoldman9200]

I’m pretty sure than the fact he was short is actually a tactic by the British to make people think he is short because England and France are historical rivalry. The French have a different system of measurement so they took advantage of it by making him seem short.

[@DROIDFARM]

Okay we got it you have a Patreon lol other than that great work!

[@colinp2238]

Some of your facts are just gossip. It is now thought that he was 5'7" which was not short in the eighteenth century.

he also had a special part in the garden of the school which he defended against invaders by attackin then with a pickaxe.

[@patrick6011]

He wasnt short, that was the mixup of british measurements and french measurements

[@marcusblum7462]

The way Al Bundy puts his hand in his pants makes him related to Napoleon.

[@rivergraham3323]

[@TryHardCentral]

Actually Napoleon was above average height for an adult french male at that time.

[@simoneradice149]

buona parte means a good portion-chunck

[@soldatbertrand9086]

Napoleon was not bullied because he was short (he was average for this time) but because he had a pronounced italian accent

There are many sets of twins among the NaPoLeOn nieces & nephews. Existing in RI and DC areas. The seven dents of his first biographer exist too.

[@DefinitelyFakeGrantOBrien]

He was 1.67m, slightly taller than the average Frenchman during the 18th/19th century

[@DiogoNum]

Parte means persona, or present too.

[@boreopithecus]

There's a paleontologist by the name José Bonaparte, although he isn't closely related to Napoleon. He is famous for discovering Argentinosaurus. There's even a country called Argentina which was named after this dinosaur.

[@unemusiqueunjour]

Imagine doing videos on history and falling for the short napoleon thing.

[@ThorTheIceman]

Napolen was taller than avarega person at the time. He is said to be short because french feet were bigger at time than brittish so this is why he was fan of metric system

[@JT-uw5xi]

He wasn’t that short for the time, about 5’6”, which by modern day accounts is short but for the 18th/19th century was quite tall

[@bluesupremacist3085]

In my class few years ago, I was with a Napoléon princess

[@AidenRKrone]

The notion that Napoleon was short possibly comes from the fact that when he was accompanied by his royal guards, which were purposely chosen due to both their skillsets and sheer height, he appeared short. In actuality, he was average height for a Frenchman of his time. If anything, his royal guards were insanely tall.

[@glennlament468]

He was exiled too on Elba but he escaoed and became Emperor again.
