    It was AFAIK the first assassination to be recorded on camera, but I could be wrong:

    Alexander’s body arrives to the port of Split in Yugoslavia, the service held there, the procession in Belgrade, and the funeral in the royal mausoleum in Oplenac:

    Well….during his rule Croatian leader Stjepan Radic vas assassinated in the PARLIAMENT, he introduced royal dictatorship, supported idea of Greater Serbia (annexing something like 50% of Croatian land, parts of Albania, Romania, Bulgaria,Hungary…).

    If he stayed alive how much the history of Yugoslavia would have changed?

    Both of them being assassinated must’ve been a shock to Europe

  5. Thanks for reminding us of this great day! Sic semper tyrannis!

  6. Aleksandar is one of the worst Serbian leaders in history, he shouldn’t have been king.

    King Alexander basically made enemies everywhere he went. No surprise he was put down.

    Yugoslavia should never have been attempted and the Serbian army should have let the Croatian lands go to anarchy as was the case after WWI. I know hindsight is 20/20, but it would have been much better had Serbia just kept its wins from WWI and absorbed the other Serbian regions into Serbia. This “union” thing was a mess from the start.
