What joan of arc achieve?

Answer 1

Joan of Arc is the yougest person in history at only age 17 to command the army of a major nation. In only a couple of months she was able to completely reverse a war that had been going on for almost 100 years that the French were about to lose. The victories she won at Orleans and Patay are considered among the greatest in all of history. Add to all of this her prophetic ability that was always correct, her personal devotion to God and commitment to purity and it is a story that can only be described as incredible.

Actually, the question should be, "What didn't Joan of Arc achieve?"

First of all, Joan, by her quick, sensible, and decisive tactical decisions led and

inspired her French soldiers to raise the siege (by the English) of Orleans in just

9 days, April 30th thru May 8th, 1429. Orleans was the key to all of southern

France, so if the English had taken it, since they already had control of all of northern France (Paris, Normandy, etc.) they would have controlled all of what is now modern France. The English would have simply annexed France to England. There probably would be no modern French state.

Joan, secondly, conducted the dauphin, the French crown prince, to Rheims to be crowned King of France. Joan's actions thus resulted in a French feeling of nationalism and eventually in the complete expulsion of the English from France and allowed the modern French state to come into existence.

The U. S. A. may not have won The Revolutionary War with England without the

help it received from the French General Rochambeau and the French Admiral De Grasse, who both convinced Washington to trap Cornwallis at Yorktown. The

French fleet and Washington's army forced the English to surrender. If there

had been no French state, America may not exist, either.

Answer 2

Joan of Arc saved her country from being taken over by the English. She turned around a war that had been going on for almost a hundred years and France was about to lose. Her first victory at Orleans had been a miracle and her victory at Patay is considered one of the greatest military victories in history.

Answer 4

She was able to free the city of Orleans from British control, but sadly she was captured by the burgandians (allies of the British) and tried for heresy. She was later burned at the stake. She was later canonized by the Catholic Church in 1920.

Joan of Arc was a poor peasant girl who served the lord, and then served in the army. When she was 19, she was burned to death, but her faith in God, that he would take her up to heaven didn't die with her.

Joan of Arc was a fifteenth century peasant girl who completely reversed a war between France and England that had been going on for almost 100 years. She became a legend because she claimed she was sent by God and then backed up her claims with amazing military victories like Orleans and Patay.

Unfortunately for her the English were desperate to get rid of her so when she was caputured they rigged her trial and had her burned.

I believe she was a french lady who became a religious commander from a peasant.

Joan of Arc was not a "religious commander", but a military commander, leading and inspiring her French soldiers to victories at Orleans, where the English siege was raised in five days, May 4th thru the 8th, 1429, and at Patay, where over 2000 English archers were killed by French Cavalry. Joan insisted that her soldiers go to mass often, avoid prostitutes, and not swear so much. In that sense she was a religious leader, but she really didn't have a religious agenda other than she claimed God commanded her to raise the siege of Orleans and conduct the dauphin to Rheims to be coronated King of France. Her success in these two goals infuriated the English and is why they murdered her in a mock trial that convicted her of wearing men's clothing (which she only did to keep from being raped by low class English guards).

Answer 5

Joan of Arc's two greatest achievements were the raising of the Siege of Orleans

and then conducting in 1429 the dauphin, the crown prince of France, to Rheims to be coronated as King Charles VII of France. These two accomplishments eventually

led to the end of The Hundred Years War between France and England. France

would now be its own nation free of English domination.

Joan raised the siege of Orleans by her leadership, inspiration, and key tactical

military decisions. She went into battle holding her famous banner and rarely

used her sword. She was an excellent horseback rider and often exhorted her

troops to face the English boldly and not to be afraid.
