According to Machiavelli, how did Ferdinand's aggressive military strategy
most contribute to his success as a ruler?

Answer:

Machiavelli establishes that the real exercise of politics implies real situations with real men and peoples, whose behaviors, decisions and actions generally do not necessarily respond to morality but to the laws of power.

Explanation:

Machiavelli focused on questions of political strategy.

In this way, he explains in detail the way in which the ruler must deal with different situations or circumstances that arise, and establishes that the main purpose of political practice is to successfully retain power.

That is why for him the success of King Fernando is based on his military strategies. Although this king was a preacher of peace, his political and military actions are necessary to achieve success.

I could have given up, but I thought about my grandmother. She always told me that "people who believe that science is the answer to everything are missing out on everything else." With her words in mind, I searched some more. There were many facts that hinted that dragons may not be fictional. I noticed that cultures across the world all described dragons in similar ways. This was odd because they had no way to communicate with each other. I found dragons mentioned in more than just stories. They appeared in old legal papers, in the travel logs of Marco Polo, and in the Bible. I saw that the Chinese calendar uses a different animal each year. Dragons are included along with eleven real animals. I began to believe it was a real possibility that all of these people were talking about a creature that actually existed.
