Actually a large reason for that has to do with French nationalism. Previous to the revolution and even a while afterwards French nationalism was squarely vested in the Monarchy. After trying to re-institute the monarchy failed miserably they needed something new to hang their hat on.





Joan of Arc managed to resonate strongly with the French, esepcially these days due to her role in %26#039;repelling the foreigners%26#039; from French shores.

Joan of arc saved France from the England%26#039;s...if she hadn%26#039;t had done that France would have been England%26#039;s territory so that%26#039;s why she is so important
Reply:Joan of Arc touches people on many important levels. Many people are inspired by her incredible faith in God. Others are impressed by her military victories and impact upon history. She remains today a symbol of resistance to tyranny. She is unique in history and shares little in common with today%26#039;s leaders. Maybe what we really need today is a leader like Saint Joan of Arc.
