    Napoleon is said to have been one of the shortest generals in history. For years people believed that his height was just 1.58 meters (5 feet 2 inches). However, what most historians forgot was that Napoleon’s height had been measured in French units. When converted to Imperial units, this is 1.69 meters (5 feet 6.5 inches). His personal guards were part of an elite force of very tall soldiers. This also made him look smaller than he was.

    Napoleon has inspired many leaders. He didn’t hesitate to take a tough decision, even if it meant destruction. He never accepted a treaty that gave him less than what he thought war could get him.

    Nicholas Copernicus (1473–1543) is regarded as the father of the Scientific Revolution. He claimed that the Sun is at the center of the universe and that the Earth rotates on its axis once a day and revolves around the Sun each year. At the time, this claim shocked and upset people because they had always believed that the Earth was at the center of the universe and that the Sun went around the Earth.
