What dictator became an ally in world war 2?
josef Stalin. he did so though, bcause the USSR and Germany had signed a pact not to attack each other but Hitler broke his word(again). this led to him splitting his army into 3 to attack ussr. however, he failed due to 2 reasons.
1 he had a 3 pronged, not a single attack.
2 he was too late. the winter (-70 c) stopped him just like it stopped napoleon in 1800's
it was mainly because of the second reason that he lost the war in the astern front and Stalin ganged up with Britain to defeat Hitler.

Who would take over if a totalitarian dictator was assassinated?
The various powerful and rival factions come together and agree upon a person acceptable to all. Usually a person perceived as a safe non-entity that each group imagines they can control.
This method failed miserably in Germany, leading to Hitler. However, the Russians in their communist phase got it down to an exact science, in which they hardly ever had to kill too many people during the changeover.
Towards the end of the Soviet era, it got so that they could just retire their "leaders" to rest homes, a somewhat large improvement from the random ditches and dumpsters that had served originally.
Who refused to be king or act as a dictator for any time longer than necessary?
You are probably thinking of Cincinnatus.
Cincinnatus was a politician in ancient Rome, hundreds of years before Julius Caesar was born. One of the cities near Rome attacked another city, which was friends of Rome's. A Roman army went to rescue their friends, but the enemy managed to surround the Roman camp, besieging the army.
So the legend goes that some of the soldiers escaped and told the Roman Senate what happened. The Senate named Cincinnatus "dictator", which for the ancient Roman Republic was a special political office that basically made him a king temporarily- for six months, or the end of the emergency, whichever comes first.
When the Senate officials went to find him, he was supposedly at his farm, plowing his fields. He stopped plowing, got his own army, freed the besieged army, and returned back to his fields fifteen days later.
What was the German law passed that allowed Hitler to legally seize power and become a dictator?
No law was passed to allow Hitler to seize power. Although the Nazi propaganda spoke of Machtergreifung (siezure of power; coup d'état), the truth is that Hitler became Chancellor perfectly legally.
Following the elections to the 7th Reichstag in November 1932, German politicians and industry leaders naively believed that if they gave Hitler the Chancellorship of Germany that they would be able to control him. They subsequently put pressure on the German President, Paul von Hindenburg, to appoint him as Chancellor. Hindenburg detested Hitler and had previously refused to appoint him following the election to the 6th Reichstag on July 31, 1932 and referred to him disparagingly as der böhmische Gefreite (the Bohemian Corporal). In Hitler's first government there were only two other Nazis: Wilhelm Frick (Interior Minister) and Hermann Göring (Minister without Portfolio).
Once in power, Hitler then callously set about dismantling Germany's democratic institutions, at first restricting other political parties before banning them outright and persecuting political opponents. The death of German democracy came about when Hitler disolved the Reichstag with the "help" of Hindenburg on February 1, 1933, and Reichstag fire in the night of February 27/28, 1933.
The immediate response to the fire was the enactment of the Verordnung des Reichspräsidenten zum Schutz von Volk und Staat (Decree of the Reichspresident for the protection of the nation and state) on February 28, 1933. This decree abrogated the German constitution and paved the way for the persecution of political opponents of the Nazi party by the police and the SA. The decree specifically allowed for the arrest of people without reason. That same day, Göring ordered the arrest of communist members of the Reichstag and of the individual Landtags (state legislatures).
Due to the huge numbers of arrests, by the middle of May 1933, over 100,000 political opponents in Prussia alone had been arrested and incarcerated, there were soon not enough places in prison and the authorities had to set up improvised detention centres, these detention centres became the prototypes for the concentration camps that were to follow.
Hitler further consolidated his power base in the 8th election to the Reichstag on 5 March, 1933, which was also the last election in which other parties were allowed to particpate, achieving 43.9% of the popular vote. It is noteworthy that despite the persecution of political opponents and their incarceration that 41.9% of the popular vote went to parties that were vehemently opposed to the Nazi Party (Social Democratic Party, Communist Party, Party of the Centre).
The election on 5 March, 1933 was not a free election, as the political activities of the other parties had been restricted by emergency decrees, many members of the Communist and Social Democratic Parties were interned and the election campaign was marred with violence instigated by Hitler's SA. On June 22, 1933 the SPD was ruled as a "subversive and anti-German " party and banned. In light of this ruling all other parties chose to disband voluntarily rather than suffer the fate of the SPD. On July 14, 1933, with no effective political opposition to stop him, Hitler passed das Gesetz gegen die Neubildung von Parteien (Act prohibiting the Formation of New Parties).
In the following Reichstag elections to take place during the Nazi tyranny, the Nazis achieved 92.2% (November 12, 1933) and 99% (29 March 1936 and 10 April 1938)
On March 24, 1933, with the help of other parties (still naively understimating Hitler and still believing that with only three Nazis in the government, they could control him), Hitler passed the Ermächtigungsgesetz (Enabling Act). This Act effectively gave Hitler the power to circumvent all political checks and balances by allowing the government to pass laws without the agreement of the Reichstag or ratification by the second chamber, the Reichsrat, and without being signed into law by the Reichspresident.
The Act had two restrictions placed upon it: that it would only be used for the duration of the current government and not last longer than 4 years. It was this Act which would give Hitler the ability to turn the fragile, fledgling Weimar democracy into a Nazi dictatorship.
Why did the us supported Ferdinand Marcos a dictator in the Philippines because?
Because the Subic naval station and Clark air force base were important to US interests in the region, and also because of the anti-communist stance of Marcos during the Cold War.
Was France a republic or dictatorship under Napoleon?
Yes, he was. He was a self-proclaimed Emperor who was addicted to power. Though, at the time, he was everything France was in desperate need of. He structured the country again with firm rules and got rid of all the chaos that was caused by the revolution. The French had gotten rid of their monarchs, but now that was done, nobody knew how to rule the country and who should do it.
In 1799, he staged a coup d'état and installed himself as First Consul; five years later he crowned himself Emperor of the French. In the first decade of the nineteenth century, he turned the armies of the French Empire against every major European power and dominated continental Europe through a series of military victories---epitomised in battles such as Austerlitz. He maintained France's sphere of influence by the formation of extensive alliances and the appointment of friends and family members to rule other European countries as French client states. He made France big again. He was a brilliant strategist, operational commander and battlefield tactician. He was highly intelligent, but also addicted to power. The latter brought him to his eventual downfall.
