8 März 1921 Jahr - Spanish prime minister Eduardo Dato Assassinated by three Catalan anarchists

Beschreibung:

On 8 March 1921 in Madrid, while being driven from the parliament building and in front of the Puerta de Alcalá, Dato was assassinated by three Catalan anarchists, Luis Nicolau, Pedro Mateu, and Ramón Casanellas, who were riding a motorcycle. This was the second murder of a Spanish prime minister in less than a decade; in 1912 José Canalejas had been killed similarly.

King Alfonso XIII of Spain posthumously made him a duke by bestowing the title "Duchess of Dato" on his widow.
