<u>Prophecy of the Volva</u>

Voluspa, or more accurately Völuspá is the first set of Viking Age poetry in the Poetic Edda, a Norse Mythology Book, some might say THE Norse Mythology book! The Völuspá translates to mean the “Prophecy of the Volva” or “Prophecy of the Seer.” A Volva was a wise-woman in old Norse culture.

It is commonly thought that the poem was composed in Iceland about the year 1000, when Icelanders perceived the fall of their ancient gods and the approach of Christianity. The story is told by an age-old seeress who was reared by primeval giants.

It tells the story of the creation of the world and its coming end, related to the audience by a völva(a Viking witch was known as a Völva, and they were considered to be powerful seeresses, shamans as well as workers of Seidr magic) addressing Odin. It is one of the most important primary sources for the study of Norse mythology. Henry Adam Bellows proposed a 10th-century dating and authorship by a pagan Icelander with knowledge of Christianity.

Aneli [31]

Answer:

North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) and the Warsaw Pact

Explanation:

In the mid 1950's, the tensions between the communist east and capitalist west were constantly on the rise. This led to the formation of military alliances from both sides. The Western countries formed NATO, a military organization initially consisted of USA, Canada, and Western European countries. The Soviets responded adequately, and they formed the Warsaw Pact with their allies, which was also a military organization. The reason for the formation of these two organizations was to protect the interests of the member countries, be it safety, political, economical, social, or zones of influence. Both organizations were constantly pilling up more and more weaponry and were constantly increasing the armies, heavily investing in its development, equipment, and training.
