Almanack predicts 1939 upheavals and wars in world forecast
Foulsham's Original Old Moore's Almanack, dating to 1697, foresees Mussolini's decline in 1939 and tense global events. It predicts strained US Japan relations, potential war clashes involving Russia, Japan, and China, and a June boom for the United States with July Italian trade gains. It also envisions Roosevelt triumph and potential British political turmoil. Neville Chamberlain retirement is suggested for 1941 with Eden as successor.
