'A 'Doomsday' moment will take place in 2014 - and will determine
whether the 21st century is full of violence and poverty or will be
peaceful and prosperous, according to a Cambridge University professor.
In the last 500 years there has been a cataclysmic 'Great Event' of international significance at the start of each century, he claims.
Occurring in the middle of the second decade of each century, they include events which sparked wars, religious conflict and brought peace.
In 1517 Martin Luther nailed his theses
to the door of Wittenburg church, sparking the Reformation of the church
and rise of Protestantism.
1618 marked the start of the 30 Years War and decades of religious conflict in Western Europe
That
conflict ended with the establishment of the Hanoverians in 1715. They
ruled over Great Britain and Ireland, and Hanover (in Germany).
The
enlightened Congress of Vienna took place in 1815, following the defeat
of Napoleon, and heralded a century of relative stability across
Europe.
In 1914 the First World
War broke out, a catastrophic conflict that would claim millions of
lives and set the tone for international discord throughout the 21st
century.

there would be massive world disaster that year. But Professor Boyle
claims it will be 2014 when there is a huge world event'

-Now this sounds more like it; a crisis has a big impact of influences trends- mood, colour images etc. Last 'Dooms Day' was a hundred years ago at the start of the first world war; this is something to look into further. (Laura)
