Did Nostradamus Predict WW III? Over four centuries ago, the French physician Michel de Nostradamus foresaw future world events, including the French Revolution, World War II, the fall of the Soviet Union, and the end of the Cold War. History compels us to take a serious look at his prediction of a Third World War starting in 2002. Author David Montaigne interprets the prophecies of Nostradamus, focusing on what is happening now and what will happen in the near future: Britain and the United States will fight an antichrist whose treachery starts a major war Leaders from Afghanistan and Iraq will lead an Islamic alliance against the West Rome will be destroyed and the Papacy will relocate A traitor will destroy the United Nations in Geneva America, Europe, and eventually Russia will form an alliance against the invaders from the Middle East and China
