Is there a technical name for being pushed out of a window?
I think he's Berthier,Marshal of France and a lot of other titles. According to Bonaparte the absence of Berthier at Waterloo cost him the campaign and everything else after.

[Tim Marlow]

Hi Paul, close but no cigar. Yes to assassination but pre WW1.

Hi Jon, yes to all but there actually is a technical name for being pushed out of a window. I think it was coined because it was such a well used political move up to and including the present day. See if you can find it....
Cheers
