Also, Deerslayer exemplifies this mentality by always doing the morally best things for society as a whole.
The statement "America was conquered in Germany" means that whichever country would prove to be the most powerful in Europe would boost the rights to America since allegedly no troops where worthy enough to send them to America.

Henry had a very aggressive policy on France throughout his rein until he eventually decided on trying to become the peacemaker of Europe. Henry wanted to regain the lost territory in northern France so he could be seen as a Great War lord with visions of honour and glory but also to challenge Henry V’s title of the last great English warrior. The first sign of this aim being put into place is the first French war from 1512-1514. However the first expedition on June 1512 was a disastrous failure as Ferdinand of Aragon didn’t hold up his end of the deal for an allied invasion. This shows Henrys naivety in foreign policy and the other European powers were using him to benefit themselves whilst sending him to his downfall.
All this is part of his 'propaganda war' to appear a good and deserving leader of France by maintaining the moral high ground. Constantly focusing on maintaing the moral high ground makes a big impact on how successful Henry was. From early on he goes along with the seige even though most of his men were suffering from dystentry; he still manages to inspire them even though they were extremely ill. Once Henry had captured Harfleur he was confident enough to write a letter to the
It is by far the finest book I have read, and it continues to impact how I lead. 2. We Were Soldiers Once … and Young by Harold G. Moore and Joseph L. Galloway Pete Kilner: I read this while at the Infantry Officer Advanced Course. I was struck by how Hal Moore and his commanders knew their Soldiers, by the things Moore did to create a winning culture and by how unpredictable war can be. Another big takeaway was that despite the brutality and emotions of combat, a leader must remain calm, see the big picture, and anticipate the “next steps” for his unit and the enemy.
His aim was to shed light on what the conditions of were like in “War to end all wars” and its trench-warfare. He didn’t live to see his poems published and the fame they wrought him as he was killed not long after recovering and returning to the front six days before the treaty of Versailles came into effect on the western front on November 4th 1918. Wilfred Owen laid out his poem “Dulce et decorum est.” with details about the men and their state of mind first, with the pace building and the action unravelling. In the second stanza the action is at full pace with gas shells (or Five-nines) dropping behind and around them, the fumbling and panic of fitting a gas mask and eventually the effects of gas on someone unfortunate enough to have not been able to fit his mask in time. The third stanza starts with the man being thrown into a wagon and driven away.
For his battlefield he chose the fortress-ringed city of Verdun, a position, he correctly believed, so essential to the French that France would fight to the last man to hold it. He hoped to lure French forces into the narrow, dangerous salient, laughter them with artillery fire and thus “bleed France to death.” He was the first commander to state clearly that the aim of an offensive was attrition though he did not tell his field army commander, the Crown Prince, this. On February twenty-first, the German barrage began and for the next ten months both sides threw soldiers and shells at each other in a nightmare of death. The German Army bled as well. As Verdun was a symbol of life for France, it's fall became a moral necessity for the prestige of the German Army.
