It is mate, nice catch.

Thanks, Here is one

Correct. Your turn

Two weeks and Paleo hasn't checked in? I'll post the next one then, I guess.

**paleologos** · February 25, 2020, 03:32 AM

Damnit people, I so totally forgot about this and none of you poked me?
What happened to good old poking?
Anyway I think this is looks to me like the founding of the first corporation.

The image depicts 8 plotters, from the total number of 13 plotters, plotting the Gunpowder Plot.

Abdul is correct. Trust a FRENCHMAN to be familiar with seditious activity.

**Abdülmecid I** · February 25, 2020, 04:28 AM

Sedition is pretty fun. French have even helped weaker foreigners, when they are incapable of performing a successful sedition on their own. So, let's stay close to the subject:

Is that the assassination of one of the PM's of Japan?

**paleologos** · February 25, 2020, 12:29 PM

Assassination of Anwar Sadat.

**Akar** · February 25, 2020, 02:36 PM

What's going on with his face in that picture?

**Abdülmecid I** · February 26, 2020, 04:04 AM

Thick moustaches were not very trendy in the land of the rising sun. Anyway, the assassinated man was not a puny prime-minister or a petty dictator, but a leader of much more illustrious origins. It happened in the '30s.

**paleologos** · February 26, 2020, 05:01 AM

Assassination of Mohammed Nadir Shah, King of Afghanistan (8 November 1933).

**Abdülmecid I** · February 26, 2020, 11:16 AM

Correct answer. One of the many bloody events of Afghanistan's modern history, where coups and regime changes are more frequent than legal successions.

**Akar** · February 26, 2020, 11:38 AM

I believe in Afghanistan a coup is considered a legal succession
