00:00We are in the year 1900, the threshold of the bloodiest century.
00:05The sound of a clock, marking the final moments of the 19th century, the chimes announce a new era.
00:12It is the year 1900, and Europe is experiencing an apparent calm, while the great powers celebrate progress.
00:20However, beneath that surface of prosperity, one of the darkest periods in history begins to take shape.
00:27humanity.
00:28Now let's imagine for a moment that we travel back more than three centuries, to the heart of the 16th century,
00:35where Nostradamus left written a series of enigmatic prophecies that seem to describe with unsettling accuracy the events of the world in
00:44this time.
00:45The story opens with quatrain 1-16, which we consider a warning about the coming of the century
00:52XX.
01:03The expression, "the century nearing renewal," would not herald a time of peace, but the birth of a new era.
01:11of wars and violence.
01:13Nostradamus mentions an exceptional astral configuration.
01:17When comparing planetary movements, only the year 1899 presents that exact coincidence.
01:25Just a few months before the start of the new century, the Boer War broke out.
01:30Soon afterwards, new conflicts and revolutions would arise.
01:34The Mexican Revolution and the Balkan wars demonstrated that humanity had entered an era of unprecedented conflict.
01:42The First World War between 1914 and 1918 was the prelude to something much worse.
01:49That horror was only the beginning.
01:57Between 1939 and 1945, World War II revealed the level of human destruction, with cities reduced to rubble and
02:07millions dead.
02:08In the letter to Henry II, Nostradamus describes three regions united by military alliances: Rome, Germany, and Spain.
02:17These regions are undoubtedly identified with the regimes led by Benito Mussolini, Adolf Hitler, and Francisco Franco.
02:25The letter mentions the 50th, 52nd and 48th degrees of latitude.
02:29The 50 and 52 degrees cross Germany and Poland, scenes of world tragedies.
02:36The 48th degree coincides with the latitude of Braunau M. Inn, where Adolf Hitler was born, and near Bavaria, where
02:44his rise began.
02:45Nostradamus again mentions the 48th degree, relating it to great upheavals, religious conflicts, and riots under military rule.
02:55At the end of April 1941, the Sun, Saturn, Jupiter, Venus, and Mercury were in Taurus, reproducing the configuration
03:04described centuries earlier.
03:05But the 20th century was not marked solely by wars.
03:10The 1918 flu pandemic spread across the globe, causing millions of deaths.
03:16This was compounded by the great famines of the Soviet tragedy of 1932, and the devastating food crisis in Ethiopia.
03:25Wars, famine, disease, and dictatorships made the 20th century the deadliest period, as predicted by quatrain 1-16.
03:34These texts are part of the fourth century of the book Prophetic Chronology of Nostradamus.
