“There were assassinations in Japan in the run-up to WWII if I recall correctly.”

Probably. This assassination was in 1960 and prevented a Communist from taking power in Japan.

And Europe had a hell of a lot of assasinations in the work up to WWI.

Peasants vs landowners etc etc...

Just ask Scalise where this is all going here.
