The reason that napoleon is said to be short is because British inches and french inches were slightly different, the french one was bigger than the British one and thus brits thought that the french were small, in fact napoleon was a decent sized man for the time Edit: I forgot to say, brits weren’t really looking at the difference at the time and I corrected it to inches
QDibie About the same height most are today. It was mostly the lack of good nutrition that kept people short, and in that sense the upper classes were far from deficient.
i dont know if this is true but during the surrender of Russia and the central powers were getting land Georgia declared independence from the country that declared independence from Russia and the ottomans wanted to take it over. but it declared itself a vassal state of Germany and Azerbaijan declared itself a vassal of the ottomans or something so there was a huge race between Georgia and Germany to get a city before the ottomans and Azerbaijan does and Armenia held the city. yea.... so the central powers had a race for a city held by the Armenians.
North America is literally 90% of the world population, and a lot of that is in Brazil and Indonesia which cross the Equator (but their largest cities are south of it) so you'd really only have about 400 million population vs. the USA, China, all of Europe, and others.

Actually while Napoleon was average height, his closest soldiers were usually tall for their time, which I think is also why he’s depicted as a short dude.
Another fun fact about John Paul Jones is that when he was selling a British ship in the Netherlands, he didn’t have a passport (or whatever was used to travel during the time) and America wasn’t technically official so the location couldn’t be valid. However, the Dutch helped him create an unofficial flag for the country and had him carry on. Seriously one of the most underrated Americans in history.

BT-42s are Finnish assault guns that were made of captured Soviet BT-7 light tanks during world war 2. Only 18 were made for the continuation war and they used British 114mm howitzers that couldn't even the Spanish inquisition
At 2:00 Drew reveals that he is almost an inch shorter then Napoleon. Napoleon was 5'4 in French inches, which are bigger then the standard british inches. In the standard (british) inches sometimes used today, he would be 5'7.
Napoleon was literally the leader of the country that introduced the metric system, at that time in history. How are we still talking about his height in ancient units that have people speculating about his actual height?
There really was only around 300 spartans in Thermopylae. Nobody ever cares to mention the thousands of Greek soldiers from other city states. They were still hugely outnumbered though.
Answering your question in 9:48The Greeks ho stay to fight after the betrayal of Ephialtis were 1000(300 Spartans and 700 Greeks for various city-states mostly Thespians). They stay to buy time for the 6000 who retreat. The 7000 is the true number of Greek soldiers.
We know that hundreds of thousands of persians faced the greeks and the acheivements were stolen by the spartans because after the war they were the strongest. You don't slap a tiger in the face.
7:58 Actually, there used to be Roman kings. Unfortunately, one of them (I’ll update) was really mean, so Roman Emperors didn’t want to associate their high-end, refined selves with that brute of a king. That’s why the famous Roman emporors didn’t call themselves king even though they ruled a hereditary monarchy
