History
In April 1939, after the occupation of Prague by Hitler, Italy occupies Albania.
King Zo has fleed to Greece with his newly born child. The military operations went off without resistance on the
part of the Albanian people and, April 16, in the great lounge of the Quirinal, -the king's palace-(passeront dedans Rome), Albanian soldiers, tears in their eyes, hand over the crown of Albania to king Victor-Emmanuel sitting on his throne.
(P.294 - Translation by F.L. - L'Italie de Mussolini by Max Gallo)
Thus, by handing the crown over to the king of Italy, the Albanians ceased to exist (passeront) as a free people.
Note: Here , as in all the quatrains, we are only concerned with the events that occurred, not before the times of Nostradamus, as some interpreters seen to believe, but after. It is unthinkable that a seer would predict an event that has already occurred. Albany was first occupied by French, Italian and Serbs during the First World War. However, Italy proclaimed Albany an independant state under Italian protection, but it withdrew its support. Furthermore, Albania was recognized as a sovereign state and therefore did not have to submit to the king . World War II came to change all that and Albania was once again occupied by Italy in 1939, but this time, they lost their independance and had to hand over the crown to King Victor-Emmanuel III in Rome.
