Hello, dear friends! In psychology and sociology there is such a thing as the “Napoleon complex”. Have you heard of this? A person who suffers from such a deviation tries to compensate for some of his physical shortcomings with aggression and dominance, and sometimes even exaggerates his achievements. For example, John had a “small manhood,” which, of course, made him very upset. To compensate John bought himself a huge jeep, grew impudent, began to behave defiantly in social settings and, in addition to everything else, tells everyone that his earnings are that of a Hollywood star. John may be an average guy in most ways, but he feels a necessity to somehow compensate for the size of his “teeny weenie,” even if he must distort reality.
But let’s go to the original source from where this expression comes. To do this, you need to go to Western Europe at the very beginning of the 19th century and look at what Napoleon Bonaparte 1 was doing there. Yes, it was in honor of this brilliant conqueror-ruler that the above-described syndrome that our fictional John suffered was named. As for the “intimate size” of Napoleon, we can only guess, but he certainly was a man small in stature. Napoleon was only about 5 feet 5 inches tall. We don’t know who measured him, but rumors don’t just appear. It is very possible that he could have had a serious complex about being a “shortie”.

Perhaps one day Napoleon Bonaparte 1 was looking in the mirror and said: “Well, I am a shortie, but I’ll rule over Europe!” Well, I must say that he did not exaggerate. Just google information about the French Empire under him and you will be surprised. We showed it in our video about the French Revolution. If you have not seen the video, we highly recommend it! Well, now we will show you the piece of the “European pie” Napoleon cut for himself. Aren’t you impressed by the scale? What do you think?
In addition, we will throw in more interesting facts about Napoleon, his battles and his reign. He was an extraordinary man with political and military genius, who transformed Europe, and much in a good way!

France, Italy, Egypt, Spain, Russia. How did Napoleon conquer Europe?
