NOSTRADAMUS – WORLD WAR III
The Beginning
[I.63] Pestilences extinguished, the world becomes smaller, for a long time the lands will be inhabited peacefully. People will travel safely through the sky, land and seas : then wars will start up again
This quatrain is considered to be the quatrain which indicate the start of WW-III. The scenario described in this quatrain is definitely a modern world scenario as is describes air travel. Air travel became commercially available only after WW-II. World is a small place now with ease of communications. Antibiotics helped man to get rid of many incurable diseases. But, Nostradamus says, wars will start up again. Alternatively, this might describe a period of unparalleled peace predicted after WW-III when the Great Monarch will reign, till the "End of the World".
The fall of communism
[IV.32] In those times and places that meat gives way to fish the law of commune will be opposed. The old order will hold strong, then removed from the scene, then all things common among friends put far behind
We have already seen this prophecy coming true. During the early 1990s in Soviet Union and
Communist Europe (in those times and places), when the economic condition in these countries deteriorated (meat gave way to fish), Communism (the law of commune) was opposed by the people. The old leaders indeed tried to hold on but ultimately were removed from powers.
Ultimately Communism (all things common among friends - equality among friends - comrades) collapsed. This prophecy was understood even before its accomplishment by many interpreters. But the instability caused by collapse of USSR and the resulting unipolar world may indirectly be the cause of the next great war.
The attack on New-York
[VI.97] The sky will burn at 5 and 40 degrees, fire approaches the great New City.
Immediately a huge, scattered flame leaps up when they want to have proof of the Normans
Probably this quatrain describes a nuclear attack on

    After the end of the Second World War, the world was left with two superpowers with competing ideologies: The United States of America and the Soviet Union. The Americans had come out of the war with a surging economy and served as the flagship for the capitalist nations of the West. The Soviets on the other hand practiced Communism, an ideology that was seen as a great threat to the Western way of life. 1 Though they had been allied at the end of the war, both nations quickly moved to bolster their military and economic infrastructure to prepare for the era of pseudo-colonialism and competition between the two powers they both knew would follow. By 1949, the Soviets would become the world’s second nuclear power, launching most of the world into a full out cold war between the communist East and the capitalist West. Competition between these ideologies meant that each side would fight to protect their influence in foreign nations, to spread their ideologies to new nations, and to protect against the spread of their enemy’s ideology to new nations; a policy the West…

    For more than 50 years, the cold war grabbed the attention of many of the world’s nations. This happened due to the evident rising powers of the United States and the Soviet Union. Both of them wanted an upper hand on the power influence and hence half the century was spent under conflict and unsettled disputes. Later the Soviet Union broke down and divided into separate republics, giving freedom to the West. But this liberation led to uncertainties for the West’s future leadership. Many issues arose questioning whether the change will decrease the danger or will the West be able to maintain the position in world’s affairs during the millennium? Will the twenty-first century be more peaceful and have productive outcomes than the twentieth century? Or just merely, is the Western civilization in a state of decline?…

    The Cuban Missiles Crisis of 1962 was perhaps one of the most dangerous and significant issues to face the international community in the twentieth century. It brought the world to the brink of nuclear war, and subsequently, the destruction of the human race. At that point in history, the global power structures were divided in two, that is, politically, the world was bipolar. On one end of the spectrum, stood the United States of America, with the young and charismatic Kennedy as President, while on the other end was the United States of Soviet Russia with the ambivalent yet shrewd Nikita Khrushchev as Premier.…

    Thе United States аnd thе Soviet Union were thе only two superpowers following thе Second World War. Thе fact that, by thе 1950s, each possessed nuclear weapons аnd thе means of delivering such weapons on their enemies added а dangerous aspect to thе Cold War. Thе Cold War world was separated into three groups. Thе United States led thе West. Thе Soviet Union led thе East. Thе non-aligned group included countries that did not want to be tied to either thе West or thе East.…

    In the late 1980s, the Soviet Union was undergoing massive changes in its policies, both domestically and internationally. More and more it seemed that the Cold War was coming to a close, and the Soviets were certainly not winning. The exact ending of the Cold War is a matter of some contention between several historians, but the certain absolute end would be the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991. The events leading up to this collapse have been argued and speculated about, and a clear consensus as to why the Cold War ended and who was responsible have never been reached. While many argue that one side was more responsible than the other, each superpower contributed a great deal. The policies of perestroika and glasnost, the willingness of Ronald Reagan to make agreements with the Soviet Union, and the Soviet’s fading influence around the world lead to the end of the Cold War.…
