Top 10 Brutal Dictators You've Never Heard Of - TopTenzNet

As bad as these individuals are, worse is the fact that they are surrounded by flocks of people willing to carry out their orders. Without these bloodthirsty followers, the dictator doesn't exist.

You can include Than Shwe, dictator of Burma (Myanmar) from 1992 to 2011. He headed the Burmese military junta, executing all dissidents and sanctioning some of the worst human rights abuses ever. Even when Cyclone Nargis damaged the country in 2008, he prohibited the Red Cross and other disaster relief agencies entry because they would learn that the Burmese people suffered long before the cyclone hit.

Because the communist Soviet Union was an ally in WW2. Zorregieta wasn't invited because he sat in a government that threw people out of airplanes, and rightly so. No regrets there.

Freedom of speech in Britain was originally only for members of Parliament when it was in session.

It is unfortunately not difficult to compile a top ten of dictators who have committed atrocities in our history. What would be more challenging would be to compile a top ten of political leaders who worked tirelessly for the betterment of their people. Even the most popular leader would no doubt have his detractors, more than ready to list any perceived inadequacy.

[@AndrewVasirov]

+Alexanderiii I would say Saddam Hussein was a good dictator. :)

[@pompom6400]

+Alexanderiii and gaddafi too.

[@jur4x]

So was Stalin, actually. Despite the fact some are trying to put "=" sign between him and Hitler.

[@AndrewVasirov]

jur4x It is illogical, it is impossible two people are exactly the same! Stalin was better! He didn't start any world war, even though the Soviet Union had more manpower that Germany! (Although the Soviet Union made some ultimatums on some countries and annexed Tannu Tuva)

[@uvscuti2047]

Andrew Vasirov he invaded Finland and started the Winter War. And starved his own people

About Argentinian babies, there is an organization of women called "Abuelas" (Grandmothers) who are trying to find those babies. Those babies might have like 40 years old now. The spot that "Abuelas" uses to find this people is "If you have any doubt about your identity please come to our organization. Your parents might not be who they told you they were" . This oganization have found 130 babies since 1976 till today and they still searching.

Gaddafi did nothing wrong Tito sure as hell did nothing wrong

[@Wikaholic]

Simon, you have such a great voice to listen to. Currently on a binge of this channel, biographics and infographics

The list need to include Ho Chi Minh as well because he is not only a dictator, but is also a traitor.

these dictators would be having a reunion in hell by now and have eternity to talk about the crimes they've committed which would follow by endless remourse

[@Depipro]

I'm surprised you had never heard of Videla before making this video. But then again, I'm from the Netherlands, and the whole Videla episode became a heated topic in this country when our then-crown prince, current king Willem Alexander decided to marry the daughter of Videla's agriculture minister.

Believe it or not, I AM old enough to have hear of THREE (3) of the individuals on this list: Park Chung-hee, Alfredo Stroessener and Jose Rio-Montt (sic).

[@VA7SL]

Videla looks like Borat

[@ryanrichards7056]

About Stroessner, I was in Paraguay in 1971 and I have never experienced such a high level of law and order. There was NO crime. No one needed to lock their doors, or take the keys out of their car's ignition. If you forgot your wallet filled with cash at the local restaurant, the owner would come racing out to return your wallet and apologising for the incovience.0 Even the prostitutes were treated well. It was said that your second visit to the police station would be your last. Great place to live for law and order.
