Julius Caesar deserves to be in this list
Et tu? Brute?
Sure, I mean, after all it's the most important magnicide in history.
Et tu brute?
Et tu Brute?
You mean the murder of the most successful human being in history and leader of the most influential empire in history? What makes you think that qualifies?
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.
this video posted 18 minutes ago, you posted 14 minutes ago, how tf do you know or not if he covered those assasinations?
I skimmed through it and was easily able to recognize which ones where covered. This is also a compilation of previous videos of the same topic. I also followed this channel for a long time
@@attigator ah I see, my mistake.
Garfield the Cat: “I _hate_ Mondays!”
James Garfield: “Tell me about it…wait, you’re a cat! You don’t work or go to school!”
The attempted assassination on The Bull Moose where he finished his speech before asking for medical attention
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.
The gun ended up being lost (unless it's been found since), I remember hearing the story about how he couldn't afford it, and the merchant sold it to him anyway discounted. It was totally premeditated. He was a loon who campaigned independently for him (without his knowledge) and thought he was the reason Garfield won. Wanted recognition at first but got denied, then he plotted revenge. (Also he originally started doing newspapers for his local cult before being kicked out) 😂 The dude is a character.
"Hello sir, would you like to browse our catalogue of presidential assassinations tools? Oh yes, mighty fine choice! You, sir, have what I call 'killer style'".
*Twirls mustache*
FDR was almost assassinated too but it missed him, killed Anton Cermak, the then mayor of Chicago, and hit 5 other bystanders 17 days before FDR’s inauguration
*before
Time Traveler: What year is it?
CIA Agent: 1963.
Time Traveler: Before or after JFK was...
CIA Agent: Before.
Gold 🥇
You really think that damn
FBI and Vivek are looking like crossing paths ..... God save 🙏
Conspiracy about JFK death
improved version of this comment.
time traveler: what year is it?
CIA agent: 1963- wait! hold on a minute sir! how did you get in?
Do an episode on the Toyota War. Its definitely one of the strangest names for any conflict in history.
You should word this as "Infamous" not famous.
Americans aren't the best at the English language.
🤓
Last time I was this early, I heard the words "Et tu, Brute?"
What
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.
Yep
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.
"It's going to take more than that to kill a Bull Moose."
- Teddy Roosevelt
@@feliciathagoat1678 Nobody can describe the level of his Testosterones and how big and heavy his balls he's carrying during the whole ordeal
Epic, a compilation not involving prologue banter from a wwii dude
lmfao
I honestly never thought of what is the most "famous" assassination before but Ceaser should be up there
the quality of videos on this channel is so consistently entertaining
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
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.
"History can say what it want but rarely does it remember anything correctly"-Lawkeeper Equity Mlp Ace Attorney EOJ
The carcano is very accurate when loaded with the proper diameter bullet I believe .268” not the normal 6.5 in .264”
I thought it was a Mauser as described by the police officers at the scene. Then it switched. 🤔
The Mauser was mentioned here but they claimed the police were mistaken... 😂 So many oopsie daisies in this case....
@@badmanskill1112 It is not necessary to be conspiranoid. For American people Bolt action rifle = Mauser... 😁
@@DL1945 The police officer Roger Craig was up there and seen it stamped Mauser. Or his head going back and to the left... from the front? No way. The whole thing was set up through and through.
@@DL1945 Even the term 'conspiracy theorist' was weaponized by an Agency memo to the media regarding this incident.
Love your channel ❤
I didn't realise Oswald had an alias. I learned something new from your video. That's really cool 🙂
Why order a gun in the mail with an alias when he could have walked into a shop with no ID and bought one?
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
Also The Assassination of Martin Luther King
last time I was this early, it was Abel getting assassinated
😂😂
Cain and Abel
Lmaooo
That's the Bible
Awe yes Cain, the first vampire
Excellent dudes!!
Great video. But I think that Julius Caesar and tsar Alexander II of Russia should have been included in the list as well
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.
I didn’t know much about the ww1 assassination
You should make a part two to this video
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.
Das ist sehr interessant. Gibt es so ein Video in Deutschland?
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 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".
Cheese and lettuce 😊
Tomatoes too
Meat Patty
now it's time FOR THE KRABBY PATTY
@simple history can you do the Oka Crisis
If possible can you perhaps do a video on Wilhelm the second
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.
The first one was mind-blowing
I agree with john donnavan from Mafia 3 about the Kennedy assassination
The notification definitely said "The Most Famous ASSASS" so I clicked it almost immediately and now I'm pretty disappointed.
Lincoln & Caesar should have made the list yet glad Valkyrie got some attention
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
The idea the carcano is so inaccurate and substandard it couldn't make the shot is just untrue. The carcano is very capable.
Yeah, and it was such a short distance, long range accuracy probably didn’t even matter!
@@Manmoon69420 Are you both stupid? Did you forget the target was moving?
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
You should make a video about Babe Ruth!
Perhaps it should be, "The MOST INFAMOUS Assassinations In History"
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,"
Teddy Roosevelt was the most talented man in the world, Could he fly? 😄 Fantastic video.
Arch Duke Franz definitely the most infamous assassination
Interesting video
This video reminds me of gunny heartman's speech
Thumbnail from the rare zapruder "rifle scope attached" film footage.
Oswald wasnt alone.
Yeah it was mason from black ops
@@allendudashworld7752the numbers mason, what do they mean?
@@OverlordMalarkey 8008
MOST famous? Na, that's Caesar for sure, second or third maybe
Simple History trying to make new videos instead of combining old ones into re-releases challange: Impossible
Can you do a thing about all things Australia did in ww2
pretty much just a landing spot for the americans while we were fighting the japs🤣🤣
"It was I, Dio!"
"And spotted a man who FITTED the Ozwald description"
You mean Oswald? "Spotted a man who FIT OSWALDS description.."
It was Jackie,
with a pistol,
in the Lincoln Continental.
Texas didn’t like kennedys handling of the civil rights? Suprise suprise.
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.
Roosevelt really *was* a bull moose.
Interesting thing about the attempted teddy Roosevelt assassination John shrenk is the relative of a friend of mine
Professionals have standards
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.
It was another time, after is when things changed, when we heard the news, we cried and prayed. Still think it goes deeper, things are just tooo convenient and no I don’t wear tin foil hat.
@@louisedykes4794 I know… But they still should not have used a car that made him such an easy target.
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.
Ive owned one too. Absolutely junk. One of the worst rifles made imo....
@@jamesjaneczek8256 If they are loaded with the smaller american .264 bullet in 6.5mm carcano cases, the undersized bullet bounces around down the bore when fired and can't hit the side of a barn. You need to use .268 sized bullets to grip the rifling properly. Though late WW2 made carcanos are often poorly made as the italian armories got squeezed by lack of better grade materials.
3:53 I don’t like that I laughed
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
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...
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.
That isn't a famous assassination
Funny because i have a classmate literally named john kennedy and has extremely similar haircuts
You should cover princess Diana's one
Misspelling btw
Woah
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.
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.
You do one that covers all the presidential attempts and those that did actually happen.
ANOTHER COMPILATION OF PREVIOUSLY UPLOADED CONTENT
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 , german, don't think so. The assassins only could use one bomb instead of two, and the light construction of building ( in german Baracke) caused, that much of bomb energy could leave the building. And remember the : It was a man named Adolf Hitler , who shot the dangerous Führer!
Lee Harvey Oswald went to my high school. Arlington Heights High school.
3:08 Kennedy was shot by his driver which is why Jackie tried all ways to get away from him .
Teddy Roosevelt was a creep. He frequently visited bohemian grove
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.
What was not in the military how does he know
I wouldn’t expect a marine to know the definition of the word marksman anyways, get over yourself
@@dos1763 Know what a "marksman" is? That's a Marine that shoots from 186 to 215 on the rifle range. A sharpshooter shoots 216 to 226 and an expert shoots 227 and above.
So, you want to tell me that a marksman, shooting a POS Italian rifle, at a moving target the size of a basketball, at a distance of 250 feet, through a tree, hit that target twice? You are full of it and you have never picked up a weapon and wouldn't last one day in Marine boot camp because that mean old drill instructor said things that hurt your "widdle ol feelings" and now you need to run home to mama. F you!!
Well, Franz still got to the hospital.
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.
Can the attempted assassination count?
Hey guys I love your videos but I gotta be real, there is a big problem here. Someone put a cartoon video in your adds!
What about rfk
Thank goodness the Warren report found out who did it and cleared it all up 😅
this is so sad
Sniper of Assassination
Death had to take Teddy in his sleep for if he had been awake, there would have been a fight…
Go look up who made the quote, I just repeated it.
"No, you certainly can't" were not John F. Kennedy's last words. His last words were, "My God, I'm hit!"
Oswald did not act alone.
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.
Most famos assasination in history, bro never heared about cesar
If Lincoln was Caesar then JFK was Aurelion, RIP Mr Kennedy,
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.
Last I checked the assassination of Julius Caesar was more famous.
Our American public school system has been so dumbed down over the last 40 years that I suspect only 1 in 10 high school students would even recognize Caesar’s name much less who he was or what his role in history was.
