World War One
The Untouchable Prophecy would also affect the world of health care. Alexander Fleming, who discovered penicillin, was censored by the government. The upper class feared that the “Nadar” was still in Europe and feared that he would use his war hero status to rise to power. Because of the government’s censorship, Fleming wasn’t able to publish his finding until 1929. If he had been allowed to publish his finding sooner, many more lives might have been saved.
The biggest effect that the Untouchable Prophecy would have took place in 1919 in France. At the end of WWI, the Big Four and other nations met in Versailles to make a peace treaty. But once there, people got side tracked when they heard of the Untouchable Prophecy. Instead of making a good treaty or following Woodrow Wilson's 14 points, they spent the whole time arguing and guessing about the contents of the Untouchable Prophecy. The Ottomans said that they and the German, who were now keeping it for safety, knew what it said and refused to tell. The Allies then got angry and decided to fine the German’s 10 times what they originally planned. This caused the Germans to sell the Untouchable Prophecy to the Switzerland to help pay for the 32 billion dollar fine. The Swiss would later use the Untouchable Prophecy to stay neutral in WW2 by threatening to burn it and keep it contents secret.
