monopoly. Exclusive control. Exclusive privilege.
an old french [16th century] definition gives us monopoles et assemblées factieuses pour faire quelque menée; assemblée factieuse ayant pour but une opération militaire contre le pouvoir établi. [monopoly and factious meetings to carry out an operation; factious meetings whose goal is a military operation against the leaders in place.]
conquerors. Here the use of the plural suggests several countries joined together in a militaruy operation against a common enemy.
from the latin Melita, the island of Malta.
means won over by the strategic position of Malta.

All these elements are very important to the understanding of the quatrain. There were, of course, lots of military meetings in the last 450 years. Here, Nostradamus uses the word monopoly to indicate it is, as defined above, a military meeting set up to overthrow the leaders in place. The word conquerors, linked to the word Malta also suggests that the island of Malta is considered as a base of operations, and as Malta was a british colony, I believe the group of countries involved in the operation is the allied forces during World War II.
As I mentioned at the beginning of this book, these quatrains have been set in the form of a puzzle. Therefore, there are missing links, and the interpretation must take into account the missing gaps [lines] that are scattered throughout the ten centuries of the prophecies. Here, the first line alludes to a military meeting, whereas the second line gives us the results of that meeting.
Interpretation
The advisors of the first summit meeting of the allied conquerors,
Won over by the strategic position of Malta...[choose the island as a base of operation]
History
During World War II, Malta became one of the main bases of operation of the Army and the Air Force when the allies landed in Sicily and Italy. This is why the island was under constant attack by the Germans who were aware of the threat
The first summit meeting concerning an eventual landing in Europe, was the Conference of Casablanca [conseillers du premier monopole] This meeting was the turning point of World War II. At the reunion, it was decided that first landing would occur in Sicily, and the island of Malta would play a dominating role in that venture:
[P.11] As to the landing, two sectors only could be assisted by the allied fighters [les conmquérants] stationed there: the beaches in the south-east part of the island, between the gulf of Notto and Gela, within range of the airports of Malta [séduits par la Melite] , and those in the south-west, between Sciacca and Marinella, that could be reached from the airports in Tunisia.

[P.66]...The protection of the eastern strategic group by the fighters would be entrusted to the Royal Air Force based, first on Malta, then on the captured airports according to the progression of the attack...
A german authority, general Kurt Student, commander of the attack in Crete, answering an examiner in october 1945, stated that, in his viewpoint:
[P.79] ...the operation of airborne troops in Sicily [from Malta] was decisive. Without those troops that prevented Herman Göring's armored division to reach the shores, this division would have driven back to the sea the first attack coming from the sea.
[Translation - Les Canadiens en Italie - Lt. Colonel G.W.L. Nicholson]
From the beginning of hostilities, the Germans evaluated and recognized the strategic position of Malta:
[P.1194] The key to the conquest of North Africa was the small island of Malta, located in the Mediterranean between Sicily and the bases of the Axis in Lybia. It is from this british stronghold that bombers, submarines and warships attacked the german and italian vessels that transported soldiers and supplies in North Africa.
