Mata Hari 1876-1917



Born on August 7, 1876 in Leeuwarden, Netherlands. Mata Hari was professional dancer and mistress who accepted  assignment to spy for France  in 1916. Hired by army captain Georges Ladoux, agreeing to pass military information gleaned from her conquests to the French government. Not long after, however, Mata Hari was accused  of being a German spy. She was executed by firing squad on October 15, 1917, after French authorities learned of her alleged double agency.
