Joan of Arc states‚ “One life is all we have and we live it as we believe in living it. But to sacrifice what you are and to live without belief‚ that is a fate more terrible than dying.” Born in France in 1412‚ Joan heard voices as a teenager‚ supposedly sent to her from God‚ giving her an assignment to save France from its enemies and assist Charles in becoming king.

Historically‚ there were a host of valiant women soldiers whose achievements really put their male counterparts to shame. One need only look at the classic examples of Joan of Arc and Mulan to see how exceptionally women could perform on the battlefield. In my observation‚ their determination‚ courage and dignity‚ to this day‚ are still being admired by male soldiers and civilians alike throughout the world. Moreover‚

That cannot be argued with‚ it was that date and will always be that date no matter what happens in the future and every history text or website would agree with that fact. So it is therefore illogical to start claiming that Joan of Arc died last week as historical facts‚ which are perfectly reasonable‚ tell us otherwise. However‚ does reason really
