Has anything ever improved after an assassination?

If you refer to the French revolution's eventual execution of the deposed monarch, I'm not sure that qualifies as 'assassination.'

France "improved" after the Revolution if you ignore that minor tangent where, in the chaos and confusion that followed, a man declared himself emperor and thought to conquer all of Europe (starting a series of wars that lasted for more than ten years and killed millions.)

But at least Europe got much needed civil reform in the process, I guess?
