This question looms over world leaders, defense experts, historians as well as astrologers.

    The poetic prophecies of Nostradamus can be interpreted in many ways, giving the liberty to many of his believers that he successfully predicted many events that proved true later. These include the Great Fire of London, the French Revolution, the rise of Napoleon and Adolf Hitler, World War 1 and World War 2, and the nuclear destruction of the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. It is said that he also predicted recent incidents of Apollo Moon landing in 1969, the Space Shuttle Challenger disaster in 1986, the death of Diana, Princess of Wales in 1997, and the September 11 attacks on the World Trade Center in 2001.
