Why has Joan of Arc made history? ====Joan had been remembered as a strong willed young woman, who never ceased trying to achieve her mission, (this included dragging along an entire country and king to do so) to save France from the clutches of an invading neighbouring country- England. By the time of Charles VII coronation, Charles had an army of ten thousand soldiers and knights strong, inspired by Joan to revive faith into their king, and fight for a worthy cause of freedom from another country.==== ====A statue made five centuries after Joan's birth, signifies her undying faith, and people's belief in and allegiance to Joan, is proof of that. By Joan's faith in herself, and her undoubting convictionin in her prupose, she was able to give the French soldiers the heart and strength to fight, that the Dauphin (king Charles VII) could not and did not.==== ====Joan's inspiration and reputation was not limited to the Hundred Years War, but at other times when France's liberty was in peril- from Napoleans time in 1815, 1870, and in world war one- 1914, Joan was recalled as patroness of the soldiers, and in 1940, during World War two, Joan was used as a symbol of resistance against the German empire which had at one stage gained control over France during the war.==== ====As well as miliatary and patriotism inspiration Joan's achievement could not be supressed, her life and legacy has attracted poets, playwrights, novelists, including Shakespeare (King Henry VI- as Joan la pucelle) and Mark Twain and Voltaire, Joan has provided artists with inspiration for many paintings and sculptures.==== ====So, Joan's legacy still survives today even if Joan herself does not, she has created an awe inspiring story that would not be forgotten even centuries later, all in the course of her mission to free France, has and still does continues to inspire and place a sense of hope and patriotism into her kinsmen, as well as people from all over the world.====
