Steiner wrote his "prophecy" shortly after Germany lost a disastrous 
war it could have won had Wilhelm II had sense enough not to bring in 
the US. Most Germans correctly blamed Wilhelm for this foulup, with 
the result that, since he served as emperor at the pleasure of the 
Laendern, he was forced out of office. Someone who preferred not to 
put the blame where it belonged would naturally have blamed "America" 
and expressed this sentiment through a pseudo-prophecy. The date 
2000 is obviously a mathematical manipulation of 1920 when 
the "prophecy" was written. There is nothing very mysterious there 
to my mind.
