Is an absolute ruler a totalitarian dictator?
Not necessarily. The word totalitarian is generally only applied to some 20th century dictatorships. A key feature of totaliarianism is the politicization of all activities, including leisure.
Ealier absolute monarchs did not do this.
How is it justified to give a dictator a tit for tat treatment?
Lets start off with a question. What does a dictator work for? A: HIMSELF. He has no other incentive other than his own positive gains either economically or politically. How many dictators do we see that want to help their people? Almost none. All dictators do is just help themselves not exactly caring for the citizens. If we don't give a tit for tat treatment, it might be viewed as ethical and moral. But think: If we don't do anything, that is the same as helping a dictator. Examples in Night and The Book Thief portrays this idea. We have to step up and bring and execute unruly dictators. How can we be moral or ethical to people that just aren't human. Killing 6,000,000 Jews will automatically degrade one of less than that of dirt. Killing people that kill 6,000,000X than you should not have any effect on moral or ethical issues.
When was the office of dictator established in Rome?
The office of dictator was established in 501BC, in the early days of the Roman Republic, with the appointment of Titus Lartius Flavus as the first dictator.
A dictator was an extraordinary executive officer of state. The term dictator did not have the negative connotation it has now and did not imply despotism. The dictator was appointed by one of the consuls (the two annually elected heads of the Republic) at times of emergency with a very specific mandate which was established by senatorial decree. His term of office was six months. Usually he was appointed to deal with a military emergency when there was a need for the army to be commanded by one man (normally the two annually elected consuls were both commanders of the army) or to be commanded by a man with better military leaderships skills. During the Second Punic War eight men were appointed for the purpose of holding the election of the next consuls (Comitiorum habendorum causa) and one man was appointed for the purpose of enrolling new senators (Senatus legendi causa) when many of them died at the battle of Cannae. Prior to the Second Punic War a dictator had been appointed to hold the election of the consuls twelve times. One dictator was appointed to suppress a rebellion (Seditionis sedandae causa).
As an extraordinary officer of state, the dictator was not legally liable for his actions and had an absolute authority which went beyond that of the consuls who were ordinary officers of state and had legal liability for their actions. A dictator could overrule or depose and sentence to death other officers of state. He could rule by decree and change any law, but these lasted only for his term of office. He could also issue new laws without the popular assembly's vote, but these were usually put through a vote. He could punish without trial and was exempt from appeal. He could act without consulting the senate, but he usually did. This practice was stopped (with the exception of two instances in the second Punic war) after the wars in Italy because it was feared that a man with such great power would be dangerous if he was far from Rome. It was replaced by the Senatus consultum ultimum, a senatorial emergency decree that allowed the consuls to act as they saw fit and, at times, and to re-elect the same consul was the emergency was protracted, as with Gaius Marius who was elected consul five consecutive times (105-100 BC) to deal with barbarian invasions.
The only exception to the rule that there could only one dictator was in 216 BC after the battle of Cannae during the Second Punic War. Marcus Fabius Buteo was appointed dictator with the mentioned mandate of enrolling new senators. He was appointed because he was the oldest surviving former censor (an officer of state who kept the roll of senators and enrolled new senators). He resigned as soon as he finished revising the roll and enlisting the new senators. The other dictator, Marcus Junius Pera, was appointed with the mandate to fight Hannibal's army and served the full six months of this office.
There were only two exceptions to the six month term of office. Sulla was appointed dictator (legibus faciendis et reipublicae constituendae causa, (for the making of laws and the settling of the constitution) at the end of his civil war against Marius (82 BC) with an unspecified term of office. He had thousands of his political opponents executed and resigned after one year. This gave the dictatorship a bad name. In 53 BC, the senate, mindful of Sulla' precedent, appointed Pompey sole consul instead of dictator, to deal with domestic unrest. This made him accountable for his actions at the end of his office. Julius Caesar was appointed dictator four times. The second time he held the office for one year, the third time he was given a 10-year term and the fourth time he was appointed for life.
During the 482 years of the republic a dictator was appointed 88 times. In total 75 men were appointed dictators.

What does one ruled by dictator who has complete authority mean?
A dictator who has complete authority exercises absolute power over a state, often without any legal limitations or checks and balances. This form of governance typically suppresses political opposition, limits freedoms, and controls various aspects of life, including the media and civil society. As a result, citizens may experience a lack of personal liberties and human rights violations, as the dictator prioritizes their own interests over the welfare of the populace.
How did Francisco Franco gain control as a dictator?
He fought a civil war from 1936 to 1939, and won.
While he was an absolute dictator he was also a Spanish Patriot through and through. His only concern was the well being of Spain and it's people. You can abhor his methods, but you can't ignore his results. He grabbed Spain by the nap of the neck and dragged it, kicking and screaming, into the 20th century, and then he left it well on the way to being a Constitutional Monarchy. I would say that was no small feat.
I lived in Spain the last 10 years of his life. I respected him.

What conditions in Germany led the people to accept a dictator?
I could be mistaken, but i believe Adolf Hitler played on the public's fear of communists and exploited the shortcomings of the Weimar Republic including economic failure incurred by the Great Depression and inflation. Also during the 1920-30s many conservative politicians (including the Nazi Party) at the time blamed Jews, Democrats, Republicans and generally Left-Wing people of subverting the Kaiser's government and destroying any hope of Germany winning World War One. Hitler promised to return Germany to its former glory and military might by; forming an immense military, creating jobs for Germany, quashing the Treaty of Versailles (which humiliated the German people) and punishing "those wicked traitors".
Quite ironic as Hitler was an Austrian :O
