Dictators – how well do you know them?

473 Views 14 Votes 24 Comments

We tend to associate dictators with ancient tyrannical leaders but it may surprise you that there are many similar dictatorships in modern times. A dictatorship is a type of government where the leader or a small group rules with absolute power. Dictators rule by suppressing basic liberties and rights, intimidation, terror and propaganda. Lately the word dictatorship has been given a revival of sorts and a certain degree of respectability shall we say.

Ranker.com lists 49 countries considered dictatorships. Africa leads the way followed by Asia-Pacific, Eurasia, the Americas and Europe. I have selected 10 countries for this quiz. Test your knowledge of current day dictatorships and dictators by matching the dictator with the country.

  2. I must watch or listen to too much news. I got them all – I know the leaders of most countries if they have been in the news over the last few years I guess.
    Great quiz!
