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.
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.
