In Montmarte in Paris you find a site, a small cafe, which is very interesting with
reference to terror as a method to put an end to diplomatic talks. I paid a visit
to the cafe some days ago. The French Sosialist leader, Jean Leon Jaures, was assassinated at the cafe in year 1914. Cafe Restaurant Historique is the name of the site. Street: 146 Rue Montmarte. He was killed by a French nationalist called Raul Villain.Why was he killed? Jean Leon Jaures tried to promote an understanding between
France and Germany to prevent the war - The First World War. He failed. To fight for peace is still dangerous and some are killed for making peace. Jean Leon Jaures was
educated at the Lucee Louis-le-Grand in Paris.Later he was lecturing at the University of Toulouse.If you go to Paris, pay a visit to the cafe to remember a man
who did all he could to prevent the war- but invain.
