This evening at about 9:45 pm. Jean Jaurès, a French socialist, will be assassinated at the Café du Croissant by known nationalist, Raoul Villain. Jaurès had been due to attend an international conference on August 9th, in an attempt to dissuade the parties from going ahead with the war. No one is truly certain as to why he was assassinated, but it has been speculated that it was in order to stop him from attending the conference.
