Napoleon Bonaparte could not have been more correct that history was a set of lies accepted by the people.
It was observed that his soldiers looked up to him not for his powerful position but because height requirement to enter the French army at that time was 4 feet and eleven inches.
“History is a set of lies agreed upon,” this quote was by Napoleon Bonaparte, the very popular, if not notorious, Emperor of France.
Bonaparte was known his big and funny hat, his hand inside his vest, and for being short.
That he was short was big lie. His actual height was 5 feet 6 and a half inches.
It was observed that his soldiers looked up to him not for his powerful position but because height requirement to enter the French army at that time was 4 feet and eleven inches.
That quote on history being packed with lies proved wrong accusation that he was shortsighted.
Until today, powerful forces are trying to change fact in history like in the case of what happened in the Martial Law years in the Philippines.
