Henry IV’s focus was on the rebuilding of France. He focused on providing food for citizens instead of fighting religious wars. *Cardinal Richelieu on the other hand focused on military power. He defeated nobles' private armies and harshly punished those who disobeyed him. He also raised taxes to fund wars
