The MOST FAMOUS Assassinations In History 

Julius Caesar deserves to be in this list

Fast fact: The spot where Teddy Roosevelt was shot is marked by a plaque in the Hyatt Regency Hotel in downtown Milwaukee. I used to work right across the street from it.

You should cover the McKinley, Garfield and Lincoln assassinations.

The guy who shot president Garfield “Charles Guiteau” was given a choice between 2 guns, one with wooden grips and one with pearl grips. Charles Guiteau ended up choosing the gun with pearl grips because he thought it would look better in a museum.

FDR was almost assassinated too but it missed him, killed Anton Cermak, the then mayor of Chicago, and hit 5 other bystanders 17 days after FDR’s inauguration

Time Traveler: What year is it? CIA Agent: 1963. Time Traveler: Before or after JFK was... CIA Agent: Before.

Love your channel ❤

The carcano is very accurate when loaded with the proper diameter bullet I believe .268” not the normal 6.5 in .264”

Something a lot of people don't know is JFK was not suppose to be president. It was going to be his older brother but he died during ww2 so JFK was the second choice.

Do an episode on the Toyota War. Its definitely one of the strangest names for any conflict in history.

the quality of videos on this channel is so consistently entertaining

Last time I was this early, I heard the words "Et tu, Brute?"

With the animation quality improved might I suggest that you cover the Last Meals of infamous death row inmates, from the meager to the extravagant.

You should word this as "Infamous" not famous.

Excellent dudes!!

"It's going to take more than that to kill a Bull Moose."

0:50 The Washington DC-Moscow hotline has never been a telephone line. First it was implemented with teleprinters, then with fax and finally as direct e-mail.

Epic, a compilation not involving prologue banter from a wwii dude

I honestly never thought of what is the most "famous" assassination before but Ceaser should be up there

3:42 little correction: Kennedy got shot straight into the head splitting the side of his skull in two parts. Bullet travelled through the left shoulder of the governor. The second shot caused shrapnel from the car to give Kennedy some scratches on the neck. No clue where you got information about him getting shot in the neck but it is easy to back this up

I didn't realise Oswald had an alias. I learned something new from your video. That's really cool 🙂

Given how often it's mentioned, I'm surprised Abraham Lincoln's assassination wasn't mentioned here. Having led the nation through its darkest hour, the Civil War, for pretty much all of his Presidency, Robert E. Lee had surrendered to General Grant and the Stars and Stripes had been ceremonially raised over Fort Sumter (where the first shots of the Civil War were fired), Lincoln and his wife attended Ford's Theatre, Washington DC, to watch the Comedy "Our American Cousin," when John Wilkes Booth came into the Presidential Suite in the theatre and fatally shot Lincoln in the back of his head. Lincoln died of his gunshot wound the following morning, changing the course of American history thereafter. With Lincoln's VP, Andrew Johnson, taking the Oath of Office, becoming 17th President, he set the stage for a very different reconstruction to what Lincoln had envisaged

@simple history can you do the Oka Crisis

Das ist sehr interessant. Gibt es so ein Video in Deutschland?

I didn’t know much about the ww1 assassination

last time I was this early, it was Abel getting assassinated

If possible can you perhaps do a video on Wilhelm the second

You should make a part two to this video

Franz Ferdinand may not be the most famous person ever to be assassinated (far from it), but his assassination set off a chain of events that led to the biggest body count (World War 1) among all assassinatons. About 16 million deaths followed that assassination. That assassination had the biggest consequences ever.

In the story about William ii, you mentioned that he had an older brother, Richard who had died earlier. It would have been interesting to mention that Richard, who was only a teenager, had actually died 30 years earlier in a shooting accident in the same hunting grounds, New Forrest. And, far from being a womanizer, William ii was known for having many male "favorites" which is another reason why he may have been targeted.

Well in 1903 in Serbia was happened an overthrowing of rules. It was called a May coup which occurred on May 29th 1903. The rulers that were killed were king Alexander Obrenović and queen Draga. And king was not just trying to have good relationship with Austria - Hungary. He even tried to somehow to make good connections also with Russian Empire as well. But why were the mentioned rules were killed, that, can be another topic that we can discuss. I have to say that you make a mistake. The Black Hand was founded on 10th of June 1910. The founder of Black Hand was Dragutin Dimitrijević Apis. Also I have heard two interesting things. Even if the assassination of Franc Ferdinand couldn't happened, there was even attempts to start WWI, either they killed him, or not. The second thing is that Nedeljko Čabrinović, Trifko Grabež, and Gavrilo Princip died from tuberculosis. Of course, I'm not here to judge about the first thing is it true or not. Also I have heard that Erwin Rommel was also in the conspiracy to kill Hitler. But before that, he was a lieutenant who participated in Balkan war campaign in 1915, when invading Serbia in WWI. When German Fieldmarshal August von Mackensen, occupied Belgrade in 1915, he gave the order that all defenders of Belgrade to be buried with many honors. Also there were assassinations of Yugoslav king Alexander I Karadjordjević, and also an attempt of assassination of Yugoslav president Josip Broz Tito. The assassinations of Yugoslav king Alexander I Karadjordjević (he was also know as Alexander of Yugoslavia), occurred on 9th of October 1934 in Marseille. He was also traveling by car when he was in car with French minister Louis Bart. They both died from the gunshot. Then there was the assassination of Yugoslav president Josip Broz Tito, that occurred after WWII. It happened in 1947, when Stalin decided to kill Tito. They caught the conspirators and they killed him. What happened was that then Tito send a note to Stalin. In note was written this: "Listen Stalin, it's no use to send your people to assassinate me. This is the fifth one we have catch so far. If you just send one group of people to kill me, I'll just send one man to kill you. And I won't be needing other men to do the job." That's the small history here dear people.

I agree with john donnavan from Mafia 3 about the Kennedy assassination

The first one was mind-blowing

Lincoln & Caesar should have made the list yet glad Valkyrie got some attention

The night before Kennedy's assassination Kennedy and Johnson argued about Connelly being seated in the limo with Kennedy. Kennedy finally pulled rank and insisted Connelly went with him. When the shots were fired Johnson was hunkered down listening to a security radio with the volume on low.

Interesting video

Cheese and lettuce 😊

You should make a video about Babe Ruth!

This video reminds me of gunny heartman's speech

Great video. But I think that Julius Caesar and tsar Alexander II of Russia should have been included in the list as well

The idea the carcano is so inaccurate and substandard it couldn't make the shot is just untrue. The carcano is very capable.

Was Jackie O trying to scoop Kennedy's brains up and put them back?? What was that???😮😵😵

Make more content about yugoslavia pls

As a result of John F. Kennedy's Assassination, in a location in England close to where the Magna Carta was signed, there is a one acre piece of land and a memorial to the 35th President, that was donated to the United States by the UK. In it, it features a stone engraving related to JFK, when he was born, a dedication about the memorial and the donation of the land and a segment from his 1961 Inaugural Address: "Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe in order to ensure the survival and the success of liberty,"

Oswald wasnt alone.

I talked to a firearms expert about that carcano rifle. He told me flat out "Kennedy wasn't killed with a Carcano." I asked him what he thought he was shot with. "An M14".

Heaven in 1963 JFK: Huh where am I? Wait did I get shot by somebody? Lincoln: Welcome to the club Garfield: Welcome to the club McKinley: Welcome to the club

Arch Duke Franz definitely the most infamous assassination

Perhaps it should be, "The MOST INFAMOUS Assassinations In History"

Teddy Roosevelt was the most talented man in the world, Could he fly? 😄 Fantastic video.

Can you do a thing about all things Australia did in ww2

It was Jackie, with a pistol, in the Lincoln Continental.

The notification definitely said "The Most Famous ASSASS" so I clicked it almost immediately and now I'm pretty disappointed.

Texas didn’t like kennedys handling of the civil rights? Suprise suprise.

Interesting thing about the attempted teddy Roosevelt assassination John shrenk is the relative of a friend of mine

Why no one talking about the fact that Roosevelt was shot, refused to let the man be injured, called him up to talk to him, then continued to read his speech for 84 minutes and only then went to hospital

"And spotted a man who FITTED the Ozwald description"

I don’t think the President should have not been in a convertible? But I guess that’s how we learn. I guess. We now know to have the president is in armored cars! They’re bullet proof and has it has machine guns and frenare launcer.

Lee Harvey Oswald went to my high school. Arlington Heights High school.

You need this one One doller man William Signius Knudsen (originally Signius Wilhelm Poul Knudsen, March 25, 1879 in Copenhagen - April 27, 1948 in Detroit) was a Danish-American who was a leading business leader in the American automobile industry. Knudsen emigrated to the United States in 1900. His experience and success as a business executive in the corporate management of the Ford Motor Company and later General Motors led Franklin Roosevelt's administration to commission him as a lieutenant general in the United States Army to help lead the U.S. production of munitions during World War II. Knudsen was born in Copenhagen, Denmark. His original name was Signius Wilhelm Poul Knudsen. He immigrated to the United States of America in February 1900 and came to New York. Knudsen was the father of Semon Knudsen, who also became a prominent company manager within the car industry.

Roosevelt really *was* a bull moose.

Carcanos are notoriously inaccurate? News to me- I've owned two, one of which was the same model and caliber as Oswald's, and both were tack driving accurate.

3:08 Kennedy was shot by his driver which is why Jackie tried all ways to get away from him .

Mythbusters would test out two different bunker types to see if Hitler would have died, turned out even underground he still would have survived

I saw a documentary called Rich man’s tricks. But can’t find it anywhere. That theory believes that there was 8 shooter, and the one shooter got him from the storm drain

Simple History trying to make new videos instead of combining old ones into re-releases challange: Impossible

Funny because i have a classmate literally named john kennedy and has extremely similar haircuts

It’s great they had MMA when Teddy Roosevelt was in office, I’m a MMA fighter. I have never fought in the octagon. I just stuffy what he did and Kung fu and Aikido , Ninjitsu.

You should cover princess Diana's one

"It was I, Dio!"

MOST famous? Na, that's Caesar for sure, second or third maybe

You do one that covers all the presidential attempts and those that did actually happen.

What about rfk

Death had to take Teddy in his sleep for if he had been awake, there would have been a fight…

Woah

Oswald was NEVER witnessed in the stairs...he was in the lunchroom...just as oswald was NEVER witnessed shooting Tippet...two men shot Tippet and ran in different directions...

Professionals have standards

Misspelling btw

Teddy Roosevelt was a creep. He frequently visited bohemian grove

William II: my vote is for the Saxons. They loosed their arrows from hidden positions and everyone else fled. The Saxons peaced out cuz why take credit for killing the king unless you're doing it in front of everyone on the battlefield? The others didn't want to seem like cowards so they left the body and told the monks to write it was a hunting accident. I'm no historian but I watched The Sopranos and that's absolutely how they would have done it.

ANOTHER COMPILATION OF PREVIOUSLY UPLOADED CONTENT

Well, Franz still got to the hospital.

Do Martin Luther King jnr in Memphis

10:59 Mckinley gets assassinated, "OH NO... anyways back to good ol Teddy". This whole vid is about famous assassinations and bro just skips over McKinley like nothing happened 😂

13:05. It is the most idiotic thing. Folks insist on portraying bullets flying as though it was the entire brass cartridge bullet and all.. I wish people would get this right.

3:53 I don’t like that I laughed

🤯

6:45 Joe Pesci Goodfellas 😅

The first one wasn't as they claimed. If you want the truth try 'JFK and the Unspeakable' by Douglass and 'Last Word' by Mark Lane.

Most famos assasination in history, bro never heared about cesar

8:50 "Oswald was a skilled marksman." Former Marine here, in the Marine Corps the three levels of shooting are Marksman, Sharpshooter and Expert. Saying that Oswald was a skilled marksman is like saying that a short, club footed, hump backed, pimple ridden, introvert is a major stud chased by girls.

Last I checked the assassination of Julius Caesar was more famous.

Oswald did not act alone.

Sniper of Assassination

The shots from the deppsitory were impossible. Not saying he wasnt involved but there was waaaay more to the story. Too many holes in the story.

Can the attempted assassination count?

If Lincoln was Caesar then JFK was Aurelion, RIP Mr Kennedy,

Tippet was not patrolling his normal area, he was well outside of where he was supposed to be, this was something suspicious that was never answered.
