Dictatorship

Dictators come to power primarily during time of national weakness, such as economic downturns and during national emergencies. They take advantage of the surge of emotion during those times, and convince people that they need to give up some of their freedom, or cast the blame on a certain group, and that they will take care of them. After they have the people's help to gain power, they quickly dismantle laws that could ever cast them out of power, or balance their power.

Post WWI Europe was perfect for dictators because those that lost (Germany along with a few other nations) were not only given full blame but also forced to pay all war debts for ALL of the allies. the Germans in particular, to pay for the debt, started printing out incredible amounts of money which decreased it's value so much that their money was almost literally worthless. Hitler was particularly successful there because the Germans wanted a scapegoat on which all of Germany's problems could be blamed so he gave it to them in the form of the Jewish.

Totalitarian governments generally take control because of an economic collapse. The Treaty of Versailles demanded war reparations from Germany. The only way Germany could pay, was to print more money. That lead to hyperinflation and high unemployment. Italy, Russia, Japan suffered tremendous economic disasters following WW1.

When a large mass of people suffer because of unemployment, loss of property, homes, jobs, have no way to provide for their families, they are open and vulnerable to strong leaders like Mussolini, Hitler, Stalin, who promise to deliver them. The US. economy did not suffer to the extent European nations and Japan did, during the world wide depression prior to WW2. In fact, Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor was a retaliation for a U.S. blockade and embargo during a trade war with Japan, which the Japanese people supported.

Sorry, i think you are asking a perfectly good question because after all "When did Fidel Castro EVER become a dictator?" He became Priminister of Cuba after leading a revolution against the dictator Batista. As soon as batista became dictator he discarded the Cuban constitution by only allowing staged elections which only himself could win. In 1959 Fidel Castro lead a revolution in which he overthrew Batistas Dictatorship. Therefore becoming Priminister and later in 1976 the Cuban President.

Hideki Tojo , Adolf Hitler , Benito Mussolini these were important dictators during world war 2

Fulgencio Batista .

This may or may not answer your question. People turned to dictators to solve serious economic problems during the Great Depression. The dictators were leaders who could make their countries strong again.

China is a dictatorship, but more specifically, China is a right-wing Leninist State. Leninism is the political theory that a single party rules the government and governs all affairs as opposed to individual politicians. China is often improperly called a Communist country and the confusion stems from the fact that the single party in China is the Communist Party. However, the Chinese Communist Party does not practice Communist political theory, but rather state-directed, right-wing economic and political theory.

* Sulla defeats Samnite allies of Rome in the Battle of the Colline Gate, and takes control of Rome. * Cnaeus Pompeius was sent by Sulla to stamp out democratic rebels in Sicily and Africa, while the young Gaius Julius Caesar was acting as a subordinate of Sulla in the east. * The Aurigid shower parent comet C/1911 N1 (Kiess) returns to the inner solar system and sheds the dust particles that one revolution later cause the 1935, 1986, 1994, and 2007 Aurigid meteor outbursts on Earth.

because many countries such as germany,spain,and italy began to lost faith in democratic

Hitler was one of them Stalin was another

The eastern European states tended to be smaller, poorer, and with less stable central governments that could be easily overtaken by a coup d'etat. Generally, these dictatorships were able to move in and take control of the military and there was little the people of the countries could do about it.

No. It is a devolved parliamentary democracy within the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland (the UK). The UK itself is also a parliamentary democracy (although in a federative manner) with a constitutional monarch (Queen Elizabeth II) as its head of state.

Some people thought Margaret Thatcher was a dictator and although she behaved a bit like one she was infact only a Prime Minister and depended on her party being elected.

The dictator of mexico was Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna

Ha ha, did you have this in a history exam today?

Because I didn't! So I answered the question all wrong...

But apparently it means cruel and cold.

North Korea is officially a socialist republic, but unofficially it is a totalitarian Stalinist dictatorship. There are three political parties in North Korea: The Workers' Party of Korea (WPK), the Korean Social Democratic Party, and the Chondoist Chongu Party. Together, these three parties participate in the Democratic Front for the Reunification of the Fatherland, or the Fatherland Front. As of 1998, the Fatherland Front has two equal and separate executive branches: the Supreme People's Assembly (SPA), led by the president; and the National Defense Commission of North Korea (NDC), led by its chairman. Prior to 1998, from 1993, the NDC was subordinate to the SPA; and prior to 1993, from 1972, the president of the SPA ruled the NDC, himself (rather than an elected chairman). The SPA, led by president Kim Yong-nam, consists of 687 constituent deputies who are elected to five-year terms. Candidates are chosen by the Fatherland Front. Officially, under the Constitution of North Korea, any citizen 17 and older is eligible for office, regardless of political party, but since the electing comity is controlled by the majority members of the WPK, led by Secretary General Kim Jong-il, it ends up being a single-party state. Once someone is nominated for a position in the SPA, only the elected individual is listed on the ballot; anyone 17 and older can vote for this one person (see how that works?). The SPA appoints a premier (currently Kim Jong-il), who appoints three vice premiers and several ministers (finance, foreign affairs, education, labour, culture, etc). The NDC, led by Chairman Kim Jong-il, controls the military; in a militaristic state, this gives the NDC a lot more power than the SPA.

he usually forms a revolutionary army with himself as head and overthrows the present president --dictator---or whomever is in charge of the country. if the revolution is successful he is the new dictator if it fails he is chopmeat for the wolves

None, only diplomats have limited immunity from prosecution in the USA. This is referred to as diplomatic immunity rather than sovereign immunity.

Sovereign immunity in a feature of Common Law in which the sovereign or the state is immune from civil or criminal prosecution. The answer to your question is then that the American Federal government possess sovereign immunity except in those cases in which that immunity has been waived by statute. While not countries in themselves the constituent states of the United States are presumed to possess sovereign immunity.

A related concept is that of extraterritoriality or exemption from the jurisdiction of local law. This may be negotiated on the occasion of the visit of a head of state or as part of a status of forces agreement covering the armed forces of one nation stationed in another nations territory.

The last one they had was Benito Mussolini.

Egypt is nominally a semi-presidential democracy. Yet it is no more democratic than Venezuela or Sudan, which claim to be functioning democracies. These countries use the facade of democracy as the rubber stamp of legitimacy. Hosni Mubarak has been in power for almost three decades, which really just says it all.

A dictator is the leader of a country who has unrestrained authority. Here is a link to a quick video clip that explains the differences between various types of governments: http://www.wimp.com/thegovernment/

1.)Those who opposed him were arrested.

2.)His economic programs gave work to millions, but took away their rights to organize into unions.

3.)He took control of all areas of life.

4.)He burned books that went against Nazi ideas.

It results from a weakness in a government sometimes due to financial crisis which a dictator sees and takes advantage of. This usually happens with an uninfomed and uneducated public who is persuaded by the dictator. Once the dictator takes hold they rule by threats on peoples lives or livelyhoods so no one will confront them. Any one who confronts them is delt with quickly and severly so everyone else gets the message not to mess with them. The dictator knows if he or she lets opposition grow they will be gone.

Ex. Saddam Hussien, Hitler, Stalin the list is endless there are many today.

According to Marx's theories, capitalism would be overthrown by a revolution of the landless working classes (the proletariat), and a dictatorship of the proletariat would result, in which the proletariat seized power and the means of production. This was not communism but the next step in the historical evolution which Marx believed would lead to communism.
