Famous Political Assassinations in the Last Two Centuries: How They Affected the World (From ""Icons and Villains")


Famous Political Assassinations in the Last Two Centuries: How They Affected the World

Countries, continents, and the world at large have experienced jolts that moved these entities away from their evolutionary if not reformatory paths, resulting in seismic changes that transform them in fundamental ways. One of the potent catalysts to these changes has been assassinations, as they have led to wars, political changes, and even economic changes.  In this account, we are presented with an insight of world-renowned assassinations, among which are:
·         Franz Ferdinand: The Archduke and heir to the Austro-Hungarian throne who was killed by the Bosnian Serb nationalists Gavrilo Princip in 1914

·         John F. Kennedy: The legendary American president who steered America away from a nuclear war with the Soviet Union, thereby saving humanity, but was killed, supposedly, by Lee Harvey Oswald in 1963

·         Patrice Lumumba: The first democratically elected leader of the infant nation of Congo (the former Belgian Congo) who was liquidated in 1961, plunging the country into chaos that has claimed more than ten million lives, and that Congo has not recovered from for close to six decades after his death

·         Mahatma Gandhi: The preeminent leader of the Indian independence movement that led to India’s independence from British rule. He is also recognized as the father of nonviolent civil disobedience, who posthumously inspired movements for civil rights and freedom across the world

·         Abraham Lincoln: The American president who abolished slavery, led America through a civil war, and got killed by John Wilkes Booth in 1865

·         Felix-Roland Moumie: The Cameroonian pro-independence leader assassinated in Geneva in 1960 by the SDECE (French secret service) with thallium

·         And dozens more!

A heart-rending insight into politics. Geopolitics, international conspiracies, and secret agendas.
