If this needs to be more specific, lets say it's the late medieval period, and both nations involved are European and Catholic.

I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask this but I can't get anything from google and I'm not sure where else to ask.

I doing a research paper with this prompt: How did Machiavelli’s political philosophy reflect the political weakness of Renaissance Italy? How did Machiavelli purpose to resolve those weaknesses?
Any information is much appreciated but I need sources to use the info in my paper!
Thanks Historians

Where a few decades earlier orchestral composers and traditional brass bands and so on were the norm across Europe and the United States, jazz music seems such a stark change, and which arguably set the stage for rock and roll and so on.
Also given (to my understanding) the prevalence of white culture supremacy and xenophobia, it seems strange that the most popular music style first became popular with blacks and has roots in various cultures including African drums and Latin American music.
And yet I can watch this video of Belgians going wild for black Americans playing music inspired by Tunisia.
Am I perhaps overestimating the level of xenophobia during the time? And why wouldn't this music sound dissonant or uninteresting to people who were raised with an ear for traditional music theory?
Any further interesting information you could add or any sources would be appreciated.

I would assume a President knows his running mate fairly well, but I wonder if any of them actually got to the finish line and once they started their work realized they couldn't stand each other?
Would be curious to know about specific events that might have caused rifts, if there are any.
Thank you all very much in advance for taking the time to answer my question!
EDIT: Just wanted to thank all of you for your responses! I really appreciate the insight, and apparently I am watching too much House of Cards... :)

The one I'm looking at right now is Empire of the Mind, but that covers mainly stuff after the Achaemenids.

I've heard that Japan had intended to declare war before the bombing of Pearl Harbor, but the declaration was late and so came an hour after the bombing. I have seen it claimed that the late declaration had a significant effect on the conflict afterwards, but I find that hard to believe. The US was already upset with the Japanese invasion of China, so public opinion wasn't that high. Besides, attacking within an hour after a declaration of war seems fast enough that it could have been cast in a negative light anyway. I have also read some sources which claim the December 7th message wasn't a declaration of war at all (source).
Was the lack of a declaration prior to an attack really that important? Would the US (or the international community) had a more favorable response to the attack if the declaration had come just a little bit earlier? Was the timing of the declaration important to the Japanese view of the war?

My father died in 2005 at the age of 81. I only ask because he told me a lot of what I thought were stories but wound up being true. And against his wishes think it needs to be a part of history. Personally, at the time I thought it was all bullshit until he died and then president George W. Bush sent him a flag, a medal of honor, and a signed letter that was hand written. I just wondering is there any good I can do from this?

Is there a book, or series of books, that acts as a comprehensive history of the Napoleanic and Revolutionary Wars? If so, is it any good?

I'm curious about this, especially because my inclination is to compare it as similar to the situation happening with the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar.
Am I wrong to do this? (Also feel free to ignore this part as I realize it may be against the rules)

I read on a TIL about Canada declaring war on Japan before even America did and was curious on the country's role in general in the Pacific.
Were they a great ally for America during navy battles like Midway?
What about their role in the jungle/island fighting like Guadalcanal, Iwo Jima, Peleliu, Tarawa etc?

As I have it understood, Reagan's plans backfired immediately, forcing him to revert most, if not all, his changes. If it was so bad, why has it become so entrenched in the mindsets of more conservative politicians?
