AUTHORS: Niccolo Machiavelli |
 |
| Niccolo Machiavelli was born in
1469, in Florence, Italy. Machiavelli began as a
politician in life. His ultimate goal was to
unite Italy. However, Machiavelli was dismissed
from office when the Medici overthrew the
Republic. After this, he began writing about
politics instead of being in them. One of these
works was The Prince, which was an attempt
to regain his position in politics. However, The
Prince was not in agreement with the Medici.
It also outraged the public . This gave him a bad
reputation that he was not able to live down
during his life nor after his death. When the
Republic was restored to Italy he ran for office
again, but was not elected due to his reputation
from The Prince. After this his health
began to fail him, and he died in 1527.
