in 1989, 14 years before the Titanic sank, short story writer, Morgan Robertson, wrote a novella called, “Futility, Or The Wreck of the Titan.” Not only is the name of the ship a little too close for comfort, but the entire plot of the story is that the largest ship ever made was said to be invincible but in a sick twist of fate the ship crashed into an iceberg and sank, forever lost to the bottom of the ocean. Sound familiar?

Alexis de Tocqueville wrote a rather foreshadowing quote in his book, “Democracy In America,” published in 1840. “There are now two great nations in the world which, starting from different points, seem to be advancing toward the same goal: the Russians and the Anglo-Americans… Their point of departure is different and their paths divers; nevertheless, each seems called by some secret desire of Providence one day to hold in its hands the destinies of half the world.” The quote came more than 100 years prior to the Cold War, and yet it rings true to the circumstances leading up to the war.
