=Niccolò di Bernardo dei Machiavelli= =by Nathan Stilwell=

Here are a few details about my life:
My name is Niccolò di Bernardo dei Machiavelli I was born in Italy, in 1469 in the tumultuous era, in which Popes were leading armies, and wealthy city-states of Italy were falling one after another into the hands of foreign powers. Between 1503 to 1506, I was responsible for the Florentine militia a military whose job included the defense of Italy! This was very important because of the shifting alliances. I had a lot of trouble in August 1512 because there were so many battles, new alliances and treaties being signed but I got a help hand from my friend Pope Julius II

▪ I contributed to the Renaissance in the following ways:
I stopped the wars by happening by signing new treaties I also wrote a book called The Prince which is about how a prince could regain his realm, but I also wrote other books about politics

▪ I think these contributions were particularly important because:
If the military hadn’t defend the city of Italy so well all of the new ideas an inventing people would have been killed or works of art could have been destroyed. I also helped people understand politics by writing a book about Prices and people in power and how hard it is for them.

==▪  The picture shown here is of== my most famous book called The Prince (picture below is a new translation of my book)which helps to show that I was not a power crazed politician I wanted people to understand the work of people in power.

This is why I am the most important person. I saved lives and helped people understand ©Nathanstilwell2008
