ABSTRACT
A minor event in time will have a major affect in another time and place. It is possible that every occurrence and event in the past, no matter how minute, has played a role in the making of today as we know it. Therefore, aside from natural disasters such as Hurricane Katrina (2005), the Pakistani earthquake (2005), and the Indian Ocean tsunami (2004), an event as great as an assassination could be one of the most jarring, course-changing, and history-making events. The modern world has undoubtedly been shaped by these human acts of elimination. Governments, religions, the destinies of certain peoples, and the maps of the world have been crafted, in part, by the powerful acts and ramications of assassinations.
