The heyday of anarchist terrorism was from the 1870s to the 1920s. Several heads of state were assassinated, including King Umberto I of Italy (July 29, 1900) and President of the United States William McKinley (September 14, 1901). The justification of Anarchist terrorism was that such acts would make anarchist ideas famous. This policy was known as "propaganda by the deed." Another reason was that ruling elite deserves and needs to get killed for enslaving the people. However, there were also many terrorists and criminals who called themselves "anarchists" but had little in common with philosophical anarchists and often rejected any association with these individuals.
