What dictators ruled during the great depression?
World Depression was not the only factor, of course, but it certainly did not hurt a dictator's popularity to set things "right" in the midst of a depression. Adolf Hitler (Germany), Benito Mussolini (Italy), Francisco Franco (Spain), and Antonio Salazar (Portugal) were dictators in the 1920's and 30's. Mussolini modernized Italy after World War 1 while other European countries were still picking up the pieces, thus increasing his popularity. Hitler strengthened the German economy after the collapse of the Weimar Republic. The Depression also may have allowed Josef Stalin (USSR) to become a dictator, and Franklin Roosevelt (USA) to have more dictatorial powers than the average president.

How did totalitarian dictators gain power and keep the power?
Dictatorships and totalitarian governments acquire power by making promises they feel the public needs to have.

The perfect example of this was the Nazi regime in Germany.

Yes he did. He was a true revolutionary and felt that unless there was a change in government that it would grow too big and become entrenched. You have to remember that in the 1700's most of his world was farming and his views were from that perspective. He was an anti federalist and that was his main disagreement with Adams.
A current example might be Robert Mugabe in Zimbabwe. By most standards of measurement he seems to be doing a pretty poor job for the benefit of his country. Which is very sad. Dictators who benefit their people I have no quarrel with. Government is about the establishment of prosperity, the benefit of the population, the maintenance of freedom: Zimbabwe seems to be suffering a lack of all of this in recent years.

The main reason for the rise of dictators in Europe and Asia during the 1930s was the fact that the dictators who were in charge at the time promised the people that the country would experience economic recovery. This was a period of time when the people were very poor and looking for a way out of poverty.
Communism is more of an economic system, while dictatorship is more of a governing system. They may provide idea circumstances for each other, (for example, heavy government intervention may be ideal for the equality that communism promotes) but they fall under different categories, instead being different or similar things under the same category. However, it is true that most countries that call themselves communist happen to have a more dictatorship oriented system.
well its tricky, the theory of communism isn't meant to be a dictatorship but it turns into it, for example, the USSR was meant to be communist but when Stalin came to power he ruled as a dictator. the link below really helped me answer the question
A communist dictatorship
The idea of a communist society is to abolish private property and socialize all means of production so that no man or woman would ever have to fear poverty. The working class, or proletariat, actually seizes power of the means of production from the bourgeois(upper) classes. In a more orthodox communist camp violent revolution is also necessary in order to seize power over the government as well. Once this happens there will be a "dictatorship of the proletariat" put in place. After private property has been abolished and the means of production socialized the people under communist rule will be so satisfied with the economy that the dictatorship will eventually "wither away" as Karl Marx put it, simply because of the fact that it is no longer even necessary.
but the fact still remains that communism looks better on paper than in real life.
hope this helps!
Should India have a dictatorship?
No, it is a democracy that was established as a direct result of British rule. However, up until fairly recently the lowest castes of people (known as 'the untouchables') were not allowed to vote, and every election in India usually sees a flare-up of some violence between supporters of rival political parties, with deaths not uncommon.
What countries in today's modern world have dictators?
Paramount dictators of countries include:
- The succession of Raul Castro, who took over for his father, Fidel, who has fallen ill and incapable to lead, as President of Cuba.
- Muammar al-Gaddafi of Libya, who refuses to step down amid air-strikes from the U.S. and France, and rebel opposition.
- Mahmoud AhmadiNejad, President of Iran, who has been ignoring U.S. and U.N. sanctions against the construction of WMD in Iran.
- Hosny Mubarak of Egypt, who resigned as President in Feb. 2011, after nationwide riots in response to almost 30 years of political instability and corruption.
- Kim Jong-il, President of North Korea, who has neglected to submit to U.N. decrees to stop testing nuclear weapons in international waters. Kim is seeking to hand control over to his son, Kim Jong-nam as Jong-il has fallen ill due to old age.
- Hu Jintao of the People's Republic of China, who worked his way up the governmental chain by manipulating the system, from an engineering student to secretary positions and memberships to environmental committees in China, all the way up President. He has imposed laws limiting families and health standards, and is close to Kim Jong-il of North Korea, working with him for personal gain.
To reiterate, these are rulers of countries that have seen nothing but political corruption and personal gain for governmental leaders. They are criminals who have no remorse for the selfish acts and decisions they have made.
