The Jacobin Republic was the most difficult and dangerous phase of the Revolution, when events begun in 1789 reached their climax. The Republic was brief, barely two years, but it put up a victorious struggle against the armies of the European Coalition and against the forces of the counter-revolution. However, the period also includes such grim events as the execution of Louis XVI and his queen, Marie Antoinette, the crushing rule of the revolutionary government, and the 'Terror' in Paris and in the provinces; and the eventual bloody collapse of the Jacobin dictatorship. Marc Bouloiseau brings a revisionist's eye to bear on the period. His extensive researches and careful analyses reveal an essentially rural nation divided by its structure, its day-to-day habits, its aspirations, and confronted by the harsh realities of war.

Romania is currently a stupid democracy.

Members of parliament have to stand for election at legally specified intervals (generally 4 or 5 years) and the general public has the opportunity to vote against any member of parliament whom they do not want to continue in office, and to elect someone else. Dictators do not have honest elections (sometimes they do have rigged elections, in which they get to count the votes themselves) and they can rule until they either die, or are overthrown by force. In theory dictators can also choose to retire, although this virtually never happens. Parliamentary government and dictatorship are both capable of ruling badly or ruling well, but dictators do not respect human rights to the extent that a parliamentary government normally does.

The VC took their orders from Hanoi.

Stalin became a Soviet Union's and a country's communist party leader in 1924, after death of V. Lenin. However, his actual dictatorship began around 1930, after he banned all private businesses, eliminated opposition, and started 20+ years-long campaign of killing fellow countrymen by the millions. By some estimates as many as 50 million people were murdered or died in camps in the name of socialism/communism.

The enlightenment despots supported the philosophes' ideas. But they also had no intention of giving up any power. The changes they made were motivated by two desires: they wanted to make their countries stronger and their own rule more effective.

There were a number of countries in the 20th Century that at one time or another had governments that fit the description of "dictatorship". Here is a list of the most significant ones that had major impacts on the world when they existed:

1. Italy under Mussolini. Italy was the first of what was called 'Fascist States";

2. Nazi Germany under Adolf Hitler;

3. Imperial Japan under the "Divine" Emperor and assisted by men such as Tojo;

4. The Soviet Union under Stalin; The USSR can still be called a dictatorship before and after Stalin;

5. The Peoples Republic of China; despite all of its economic reforms, China calls itself a "communist" nation and only the Communist Party there makes all major decisions;

6. Spain under General Franco;

7. Vietnam. This country is controlled by the Communist Party despite all economic reforms;

8. North Korea. This has been a family run Communist regime and still is.

9. Cambodia under Pol Pot;

10. All of the Communist nations based on the Soviet takeovers after WW2. This includes:

East Germany, Poland, Bulgaria, Albania, Romania, Czechoslovakia and Yugoslavia.

11. Cuba Under Castro and the dictator before Castro.

As of June 2008 there are 1 billion PCs in the world.

Raul Castro took over Fidel Castro's dictatorship in February of 2008. He is a dictator by ruling his people in very restricted ways. He does not give back to his people things like health benefits or payment for their work. The people of Cuba do not have freedom of speech or religion ( it is limited.) He doesn't let people in or out of the country.

Hideki Tojo was never a "dictator," though he held tremendous power in Japan during the Second World War. Some of his many titles (besides Prime Minister) include Home Minister, Foreign Minister, Education Minister, and Commerce Minister.

However, at no time did Tojo's power supersede that of Emperor Hirohito. In addition, Tojo held little sway over the Imperial Japanese Navy, which by 1941 had become the primary offensive weapon of the Japanese Empire.

Three of the most well known dictators are Adolf Hitler from Germany, Joseph Stalin from Russia, and Benito Mussolini from Italy.

Spain: Francisco Franco

Italy: Benito Mussolini

Germany: Adolf Hitler

Other dictator but under communism was Josef Stalin of the USSR.

To some degree, it is.

Jordan is a constitutional monarchy in which the King holds broad executive authority. They have a bicameral legislature - half of which is elected directly by the people in their respective constituencies, while the other half is appointed directly by the King. The political situation is manipulated to ensure the continued dominance of monarchial loyalists. The King can dissolve Parliament at will, appoints the position of Prime Minister, and is the Commander-in-Chief of the Jordanian Army.

The current reigning monarch is King Abdullah II, who inherited the throne in 1999 from his late father and Jordanian ruler of over four decades, King Hussein.

No Greenland is part of the Kingdom of Denmark and has a constitutional monarchy.

In a democracy the country is governed by the populace; if the people are dissatisfied, they can vote a leader out of office and replace him or her with someone else. In a dictatorship, the country is governed by a military ruler, and no matter how the public may feel, the dictator cannot be replaced, since voting is generally not allowed; or if there is a vote, it is a sham and controlled to make sure the dictator wins.

I think he helped out chile by making their economy stronger?

At the beginning of the story the dictator was Mr. Jones until he was over thrown by every animal on the farm then the dictator became Napoleon.

Yes. Kim Il-Sung was an authoritarian dictator in life and remains one in death. He was also the first leader of North Korea. However, all of the Korean and Japanese emperors who ruled over the Korean peninsula before Kim Il-Sung ruled North Korean were authoritarian leaders.
