Prophecies by Nostradamus - страница 2

The second line of the quatrain: "How much human blood to flow, valiant, be gone:", probably, about the victory over the Nazis. The concept of the "Golden age" does not fit the Second world war, which killed tens of millions of people. But the war contributed to the growth of industry, especially heavy: aircraft construction, shipbuilding, etc. Together with industry, science evolved too. During the war had made the greatest discovery of the 20th century, nuclear energy, which after the war became widely is using for peaceful purposes, for the production of electricity.

The third line of the quatrain, if considered in connection with the second line, speaks about triumphal arch- the Brandenburg gate in Berlin. It was restored in 1945.

The fourth line of quatrain begins with a Golden age. It is our time. If 1 put before the number of quatrain we will get1917 – the year of the great October Revolution. It radically changed life all over the world. In the next decades many countries of the world changed the social system. Only in 1918 year about 40 monarchies ceased to exist. Republic replaced the monarchy. This is a more democratic society, aimed at protecting the interests of the people, but not the ruling elite.

Before the Revolution working day was about 12-14 hours in the factories. Workers rented angle in the barracks. After Revolution the country entered the normal working hours and safe working conditions, and wages were increased. Everywhere was introduced free universal education and free health care. Russia literally transformed in 10 years. The Russian Revolution changed many things not only in Russia, but also abroad. Workers all over the world fought for the improvement of their lives, and concessions were made for them, because capitalists were afraid of revolution. The improvement of working conditions and life increased working interest in the results of job. The labour productivity increased. Liberation of labour in the capitalist countries has led to unprecedented scientific and technological progress.

For during 70 years there are no global wars, catastrophes, epidemics, famine. High technology has facilitated the work. Many are living with the conveniences that have never existed before. Many have cars. At any time of the year you can eats tropical fruits, relax on the tropical coast. People learned to fly in Space and swim under water. Social pension, medical insurance, unemployment benefits and other social. programs support people in old age and in difficult situations. These elements of socialism are in many countries of the world. Maybe the better period will be in future, but in the past better than now was not. Now time is a Golden age!

It is necessary to tell about the negative consequences of the "Golden age" – it is overpopulation. In 1930 year the population of the world was estimated at roughly 2 billion people, by the beginning of the 21 century it has grown 3 times. Such a significant increase in population in less than 100 years, is a consequence improve their lives, increase fertility and life expectancy. However, such a rapid population growth is a disaster for the planet. Rapidly developing civilization like a cancer that sucks out of the land of all that is possible. Wars, epidemics, all kinds of natural disasters are kind of immunity of the planet from overpopulation.
