World leaders vary widely in height, though many try to project the image of being taller than they actually are. In fact, some psychologists claim that short people in positions of power tend to perceive themselves as being taller.

However, they still made a big impact on the world, if not always for the better.
Click on to discover some intimidating world leaders who were and are surprisingly short.
