U.S. President William McKinley assassinated William McKinley. 1901: William McKinley, the 25th president of the United States, was fatally shot on this day by Leon Czolgosz, an anarchist, at the Pan-American Exposition in Buffalo, New York. A staunch Republican who came to be identified with the global imperialism associated with U.S. territorial acquisitions following the Spanish-American War (1898), McKinley had been returned to office for a second term by a large majority in the election of 1900. He was succeeded by his vice president, the progressive Republican Theodore Roosevelt.
