These are the unexpected deaths that shocked the world and changed the course of history.

And to demonstrate that the true criminals hide under the cloak of the accuser.

10. Philip II of Macedon

 this man credited with inventing the political ideology of divide and conquer. Philip II was a successful ruler of Macedon. In the autumn of 336 B.C., Philip was left unprotected while attending his daughter’s wedding and was killed by one of his bodyguards, Hosseini’s of arrestees. 

Though the assassin’s motives are unclear, some historians believe his wife and son, Alexander the third, were involved, while others theorize Parzania was a wronged lover of Philipps.

The murder allowed for Philip’s son, Alexander the Great, to ascend to the throne and create one of the largest empires in history. 

And bring about the freedom of these people by any means necessary.

As a militant voice of the civil rights movement, Malcolm X had long been a target of violence and death threats.

—“I’m a man who believed that I had died 20 years ago and I live like a man who dead all of it”

After Malcolm Xs’  public break from the Nation of Islam religious movement, animosity between him and the organization grew.
But you didn’t endorse what Martin Luther King was doing. I do not reject his goal of full integration and full equality rights of American citizens. Do you reject me? If you don’t think that he’s walking on the right road, I’m quite sure you don’t agree that he’ll get to the right place.

——Tensions boiled over during an address in Manhattan on February 21st, 1965, when three men shot and killed the civil rights leader. The nation took responsibility and Talmage Hare admitted his guilt. But the other two maintained their innocence. And the civil rights movement lost one of its most active leaders.

8. Benazir Bhutto.

Though no longer prime minister of Pakistan, Benazir Bhutto was still a prominent political figure in 2007 as the first female leader of a Muslim country. On December 27th of that year, she was on the campaign trail for the upcoming parliamentary elections, though she was equipped with a bulletproof vehicle, Bhutto was killed while standing through the sunroof to greet fans when shots rang out and explosives were detonated near the car.

al-Qaida commander Mustafa Abu Ali Yazid took responsibility for Bhutto’s death, which sparked riots and quashed any chance of stability in the region.

The announce of her death sent her supporters into spasms of grief.

 if not for the events that followed the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand. His name might have been just a blip in history. The murder of Ferdinand and his wife on June 28, 1914, set in motion a chain of events that resulted in the beginning of World War One. Just one month later, the motive of assassin Gavrilo Princip and his fellow Bosnian Serb revolutionaries was to break away from Austria, Hungary and formed their own republic. 

The result was a conflict involving all the world’s great economic powers and one of the deadliest conflicts in world history.

 shot twice in the back, rushed to Roosevelt Hospital, but he dead on arrival to the hospital.

The cultural impact of the Beatles is difficult to overstate. The group inspired obsessed fans, including the dangerously infatuated Mark David Chapman.

Chapman, once a die-hard Beatles fan, had become a born again Christian and considered Lennon’s comment that the Beatles were more popular than Jesus. And it was a Blasphemous comment at that time.

I’m not saying that we’re better or greater or comparing know Jesus Christ as a person or God as a thing or whatever it is. You know, I just said what I said and it was wrong or was taken wrong.

Inspired by the anti phony sentiment and J.D. Salinger’s novel, The Catcher in the Rye and his perception that Lennon was the ultimate hypocrite. Chapman visited the Dakota apartment building where Lennon and Yoko Ono lived on December 8th, 1980, and after getting his autograph earlier in the day, shot and killed him.

“I thought by killing him, I would acquire his fame”.- Chapman says

5. Martin Luther King Jr.

Dr. Martin Luther King, the apostle of nonviolence in the civil rights movement, has been shot to death in Memphis, Tennessee USA 

Martin Luther King served as a star spokesman for the civil rights movement in America, pushing for the equality of African-Americans through non-violent means.

“I have a dream. My four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character”

But he was silenced before he had the opportunity to see his efforts succeed. On April 4th, 1968, the civil rights leader and Nobel Peace Prize winner was shot and killed by James Earl Ray as he stood on the balcony of his hotel room. 

King’s death widened the gap between whites and blacks and spurred the expansion of radical African-American movements like the Black Panthers.

4. John F. Kennedy

John F. Kennedy from Dallas, Texas. The Flash apparently official. President Kennedy died at 1:00 p.m.

Tragedy has befallen many members of the Kennedy family. For example- JFK’s brother Bobby was assassinated by Sirhan Sirhan in 1968 while he campaigned for president. But perhaps most famous was the assassination of President John F. Kennedy on November 22nd, 1963, shot by a sniper’s bullet while riding through Dealey Plaza in Texas.

 JFK’s death is shrouded in conspiracy, with the official story placing the gun in the hands of former Marine Lee Harvey Oswald. But since Oswald was shot just days later by Jack Ruby while in police custody, we may never know the truth for certain.

3. Abraham Lincoln

After guiding America through the most tumultuous time in its young history. Lincoln had locked in his legacy by 1865, but any other accomplishments he might have achieved were thwarted during a play at Ford’s Theater in Washington, D.C. on April 14th, 1865, with the civil war drawing to a close. Actor and Confederate John Wilkes Booth snuck into the president’s box and shot him in the head.

 Lincoln was confirmed died the next day.

 Thanks to its retelling by Shakespeare, the death of Julius Caesar is memorable as both drama and historical fact it to.

 season after Caesar was named dictator for life by the Senate, a plan to remove him was almost immediately devised by Senate members calling themselves liberators, who feared Caesar threatened their power together. This group of roughly 60 of some of Caesar’s closest allies violently beat and stabbed him to death. 

But their later attempts to install a tyrannical government were met with protests from lower class Romans and ultimately Caesar’s heir, Octavian gained power. Before we unveil our top pick, here are a few honorable mentions.
