Marie Francois Sadi Carnot, President of France, 1887. Carnot (1837-1894) became President of the French Third Republic in 1887 after the resignation of Jules Grevy. Under his leadership the Republic survived the threat of a military coup by General Georges Boulanger in 1889 and the Panama Scandals of 1992, but Carnot was assassinated by an Italian anarchist named Sante Jeronimo Caserio after delivering a speech at a banquet in Lyon on 24th June 1894.
