On this day, October 15, 1917, Mata Hari—born Margaretha Geertruida Zelle, famed Dutch dancer and legendary courtesan—was executed by French firing squad near Paris at age 41, after a closed military trial for espionage during World War I. Accused of being a German double agent, Mata Hari faced her death with extraordinary composure and became a symbol of intrigue, controversy, and the femme fatale—her guilt still debated to this day.
