World-War Provocateur

SUMMARY

In all of recorded history only three men have willfully provoked the planetary emergency known as a world war. This rare distinction underscores an even rarer coincidence, a great mystery that connects the three most notorious warmongers of the modern age. The career time-lines of history's world-war provocateurs share in common a highly specific sequence of earthshaking milestones, constituting a parallel career that spans exactly twenty-seven years.

(The chart below displays the abbreviated parallel career chronology followed by the corresponding historical dates in the individual careers of Napoleon, Hitler and Bin Laden. The names of all twenty-one of the major historical events included in this abridged comparison are indexed.)

Index of Events:

1789: THE FRENCH REVOLUTION
1793: THE FRENCH REIGN OF TERROR
1799: THE FRENCH DEPRESSION OF 1799
1804: NAPOLEON'S IMPERIAL CORONATION
1811: THE BRITISH NAVAL SIEGE OF THE U.S. MERCHANT MARINE
1812: THE WORLD WAR OF 1812
1815: NAPOLEON'S PERMANENT EXILE
 
1919: GERMANY'S BROWN REVOLUTION
1923: HITLER'S BEER HALL PUTSCH
1929: THE GREAT DEPRESSION
1934: HITLER'S FUHRER CORONATION
1941: THE PEARL HARBOR ATTACK
1942: WORLD WAR II
1945: HITLER'S DEATH
 
1979: THE GLOBAL ISLAMIC REVOLUTION
1983: THE BOMBING OF THE US MARINE BARRACKS IN LEBANON*
1989: THE SOVIET-AFGHAN DEPRESSION OF 1989
1994: BIN LADEN'S CALIPH CORONATION
2001: THE 9/11 ATTACK
2002: "THE GLOBAL WAR ON TERROR"
2005: BIN LADEN'S COMMAND OF AL QAEDA WAS USURPED BY HIS TOP DEPUTY, AYMAN AL-ZAWAHIRI OF MAHDI (EGYPT)

(* Bin Laden has personally claimed responsibility for this 1983 attack and one other, the 1996 Khobar Towers bombing, that the Bush Administration officially blamed entirely on the Iranian-backed Hezbollah terrorist group.)

From the World War of 1812 to Pearl Harbor and WWII to the 9/11 War, the parallel career chronology of Napoleon Bonaparte, Adolf Hitler and Osama bin Laden demonstrates the double recurrence of a very specific path to world war.

Although they were born into different cultures in different periods during the modern age, each of the three world-war provocateurs manifested the same fundamental career. In this highly distinctive pattern, each man created the planet's most feared revolutionary army, forged his own militaristic empire, invaded the world's largest empire and besieged its capital city. During the climactic 24th year of his 27-year career, his military adventurism finally instigated a world war involving the era's leading powers, including Great Britain, the United States and Russia. No other historical figures have displayed such an elemental alignment as the only three men who willfully ignited a world war.

Year   1 - Year 10:        The Opening Revolution
Year 11 - Year 19:        Triumph and Consolidation 
Year 20 - Year 23:        Precipitating the World War  
Year 24 - Year 27:        World War

The unique time-sequencing displayed by these major historical milestones reveals that the careers of Bin Laden and Hitler represented a carbon copy of Napoleon's career. Had Hitler been born into the life of Bin Laden, this parallelism suggests that he would have followed precisely the same warpath that culminated in Al Qaeda's world war to exterminate Jewish people.

Collectively, this twice-repeated quest for global domination through world war constitutes a highly improbable and momentous coincidence, a miraculous occurrence that marks the greatest of historical mysteries. What is the nature of this anomalous connection between history's world-war provocateurs? How can understanding Osama bin Laden's ominous connection with Adolf Hitler's messianic megalomania help to end peacefully the war he started?
