What French dictator was known for how short he was?

Answer 1

Napoleon Bonaparte .

The French do not regard Napoleon as a dictator. He was more properly called Premier or Emperor. He is a great hero in France.

Napoleon, it might be noted, was not even French. He was born (1769) in Corsica, shortly before it was incorporated into France (30 Nov 1789). His native language and ancestry were Italian and French historians have noted that he never lost his pronounced Italian accent.

Napoleon's short stature was mocked in Cartoons in England, France's longtime enemy. Napoleon was an ally of America, but over the years the American view of Napoleon has become similar to the British viewpoint.
