Cardinal Richelieu of France was a proficient statesman and diplomat who aimed to increase French power and influence on the European stage. He often used alliances and military interventions to achieve this goal, including supporting Protestant powers in the Thirty Years' War when it suited France's interests. Richelieu's foreign policy was characterized by a realpolitik approach of advancing France's position through strategic alliances and interventions.

James Madison was the fourth US President. He served from 1809 to 1817. Madison was a Virginian and his political party affiliation is listed as Democrat-Republican. He was a graduate of the College of New Jersey, which is now Princeton University. Madison was deeply involved in foreign affairs, and was in office when the US declared war on the British empire, for their part in kidnapping Americans on the high seas. This was the War of 1812. Also, the actions of the British, its blockade of French ports, caused a conflict as American cargo ships were blocked from trading with France. Madison was President when the British burned down the White House. The conflict between Britain and America ended with the Treaty of Ghent.

The nation had overseas possessions it intended to keep. It had a long-time trade relations with Europe, particularly Britain and France. Besides trade, may Americans had ancestors from Britain and did not want to see the old home land overun by Germans. Americans had investments all over the world which they did not want to lose or see de-valued.

Cardinal Richelieu was a master in coordinating France's domestic and foreign affairs during the Thirty Years War (1618-1648). His chief goal was to prevent France from being encircled by the Habsburg dynasty, which controlled lands in Spain, Portugal, Belgium, Austria, and numerous other European possessions. As a result, Cardinal Richelieu actually supported the Protestant Swedes and German statelets against the Catholic Habsburgs, betraying his religious allegiance (he was a Catholic Cardinal), in order to preserve French independence. It was because of Richelieu's expert statesmanship that France would become the dominant power in Europe in the next century after the Peace of Westphalia, especially during the reign of Louis XIV.
