Nostradamus and World War II

Nostradamus has predicted:

Mussolini, Prime Minister of Italy

According to my own method of interpretation,
only french lines in dark blue will be analysed and interpreted



Quatrain VI-57

Celui qu'était bien avant dans le règne,
Ayant chef rouge proche à la hiérarchie,
Apre et cruel et se fera tant craindre,
Succédera à sacré monarchie.

The one who had been king for a long time,
Having close to the throne a red chief,
Acrid and cruel and feared so much,
Who will succeed to sacred monarchy.

Quatrain V-60

Par tte rase viendra bien mal Žlire,
Plus que sa charge ne porte passera:

Si grande fureur et rage fera dire,
Qu'ˆ feu et sang tout sexe tranchera.

reign. Here, the word is taken in the sense of monarchy,
revolutionary leader. In politics, red is the symbol of revolution.
hierarchy. Those in power from the head and down.
sacred monarchy. The expression sacred monarchy is not usually used in royal courts. People use the word monarchy when they refer to a royal family. Thus sacred monarchy must have a hidden meaning. There are many sacred places in the world, but the most obvious is certainly Rome, the Holy City. Thus, sacred monarchy is an allusion to the king of Italy, whose palace, the Quirinal is in the town of Rome.
Now, to make all this palatable, we must find a king who, while remaining on the throne, has relinquished all power to a revolutionary leader, and this, from the times of Nostradamus to our days. That event could, of course be still in the future, but I believe that the quatrain fits a monarchy of the 20th century.

Interpretation

The old king, Victor-Emmanuel made a bad choice
when he accepted le rŽvolutionnaire Mussolini as Prime-Minister.
Cruel and feared, this bald man will exceed his charge
and force the king to abdicate.

History

Victor-Emmanuel III was 31 years of age when he became king of Italy. He had been in power for 31 years when in 1922, Mussolini, revolutionary leader of the fascist party, is offered to become Prime-Minister of the country:
October 30, 1922
In Italy, the fascist leader Benito Mussolini is preparing to take over the government by force ((ayant chef rouge proche ˆ la hiŽrarchie) (...On Octobe 24, the Duce order the mobilization of his fascist militia of over 40 000 men in Naples...On October 27, the Facta government prepares a state of siege and is about to declare it, but on the morning of the 28, the king refuses to sign the decree. After the resignation of Facta, Victor-Emmanuel III (celui qu'était bien avant dans le règne -the one who had reigned for a long time) asks Mussolini to form a new government.
February 5, 1923
"The government of Mussolini orders the arrestation (âpre et cruel - harsh and cruel) of hundreds of socialist militants."
June 10, 1924
"As he was about to enter the Parliament, Giacomo Matteotti, secretary-general of the socialist party, is kidnapped by fascist militants and assassinated." (âpre et cruel - harsh and cruel)
January 3, 1925
"The fascist party becomes the unique party and Mussolini is granted full power ." (succédera à sacrée monarchie -will succeed to sacred monarchy)
(Translation F.L. - Chronique du 20e siècle - Jacques Legrand)

A man without pity, cruel and able to eliminate all those who try to block his way, he is feared by the people and even by the european countries such as France, Spain and England:

"Thus, once more Mussolini's successes, although momentary, will be the consequence of the weaknesses and the consent of others..."
(Translation F.L. - L'Italie de Mussolini - Max Gallo)

This is well illustrated by the repartee of the Ambassador of France:
"September 16, 1933, he (Mussolini) receives the ambassador of France, the count of Chambrun who declares: You are too persuasive, I am the mouse and you are the cat!"
(Translation F.L. - L'Italie de Mussolini - Max Gallo)


While allowing the king to play his role, the Duce becomes the supreme leader of the country (succédera à sacrée monarchie) and lays down the fascist laws that will be the downfall of Italy.(Plus que sa charge ne porte passsera). In the period before the war, he is considered as a great head of state by the european countries such as France, Spain and England, and pope Pius XI himself considered Mussolini as a kind of savior:
"In 1923, many Italians share the feelings that Pius XI confides to ambassador Beyens during an interview:
''Mussolini, begins the Holy Father, is neither Napoleon nor Cavour, but he alone has had a clear view of what was needed to rid the country of the anarchy brought about by a powerless parliamentary government and three years of war. You see, the Holy Father adds, that the country is following him. May he regenerate Italy!"
(Translation F.L. - L'Italie de Mussolini - MAx Gallo)<

As history goes, during World War II, king Victor-Emmanuel was forced to flee to Brindisi. (See quatrain III-47) He abdicated in 1944. After a referendum, the republic was proclaimed in 1946.


N.B. De Fontbrune ties this quatrain to the French Revolution and it is true the first line could apply to Louis XVI. However, the second line tells us that a red chief will have a position close to the throne. Therefore, it cannot apply to Robespierre who had no function at the court and was about to destroy the monarchy.
