"Napoleon Complex" is a theorized inferiority complex normally attributed to people of short stature. It is characterized by overly-aggressive or domineering social behavior, such as lying about earnings, and carries the implication that such behavior is compensatory for the subject's physical or social shortcomings. Napoleon Bonaparte was 5 feet 6 inches (1.68 m), average for a French peasant but rather short for an aristocrat or officer at the time.
