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.

Francisco Macías Nguema allegedly had 150 of his opponents murdered in Malabo Stadium by 6 soldiers dressed like Santa Clauses, while Mary Hopkin's song "Those Were the Days" was played on the speakers. Who would even come up with such a crazy idea?
i am argentinian and i know jorge videla, he wasn't the only one in power during that time, and there are some missing people that are now appearing as grown ups, men and women who were stolen from their families when they were babies, whose parents were tortured and murdered, a really sad and tragic part of my country's history
Maybe not all of them but the ciao wasn't above this they put Noriega in power so they were clearly fine with brutal military dictatorship over communism even if some of these basterds were worse than even most communist governments. So it's pretty likely most of the central and south American dictators and the south Korean one were helped or ignored by the cia.
Francisco Macias Nguema brought 150 of his political opponent in a stadium disguising the event as a Christmas party. Soldiers were disguised in santa claus outfit and they gunned down all of his political opponent while playing "Those were the days by Marry hopkins" on Amplifiers.
I had heard of videla for sure as I have lived in Argentina several years. His military government ruled the country until 1982, not 1981. As for the other dictators i had heard about a couple of them but its true most of the others were unknown to me
Like my mother used to say. "You can always find something nice to say about anyone, even bad people." True enough as I've found. Hannity has his faults but look at his hair, oh if I knew when his barbar shop was.
I knew of South Korean president Park Chung-Hee. His oldest daughter, Park Geun-Hye, was president until earlier this year when she was impeached. She was the first woman to be president in South Korea. I think there are some different views on Park Chung-Hee among South Koreans. Some older generations were grateful for the economic progress he facilitated, despite human rights abuses.
***** Not an enemy of the Soviets so much as not wanting to listen to their orders. Mistreating Hungaries is very understandable since we've quarreled with them for 1000 years now. They are trying to take a big part of our country that rightfully belongs to us from the begging of mankind. He did have Hitleresque obsessions though, and yes, he let people starve to death, I can tell you that from my own experience. I was in the crowds in the Revolution of 1989 and some people right near me just got shot in the head and blood splattered on me and my sister.

You forget to mention one interesting detail: That the whole Argentinian army at that time was being granted equipment and training by NATO. All the torture techniques implemented in the country where thought by French officials that have previously implemented them against civilians of the french Colonies in Afrika. You forget to mention that this state of terror was organised to torture and kill Socialist and Communist because the Americans wanted "Stability in the region." Sorry but you have been a bit selective on what things to talk about on this list.
Of course they're being selective. This video is not about the political power players that were in agreement with the dictators, but about the dictators themselves. Read the title next time.
He wasn't a dictator, but Leopold II of Belgium should get an honorable mention for the wsy he ran the Belgian Congo colony to personally enrich himself.
I agree with all but one of your picks. Park Chung-hee was a great man who modernized and industrialized South Korea. When he took over the GDP per capita 59 dollars, and when he was assassinated, it was 1,000 dollars.
Simon Whistler is a brutal dictator. He has 5000 youtube that I am subscribed to and must dedicate my entire life to because of such amazing content produced on them all.

I am a South Korean and this is horrible. This vid never mentions about the economic growth and national security accomplished by President Park. Lee Kuan Yew ruled longer than Park, and Suharto and Marcos were more brutal than Park. After all, nobody has accomplished greater economic growth like Park did. Moreover, at 1:00, that's the prison of the Empire of Japan, Well, TopTenz has nothing to do with historical accuracy. All you care is the viewership.
Three of them I have actually heard of. Stroessner, Trujillo, and Videla. I once worked with a young woman who grew up in the times just after Videla. The scars he left on that country are palpable.
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).
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.
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
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.
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.
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)
The people may have loved him, but he was still supreme dictator (which isn't really a bad thing) who ruled for nearly 40 years. His word pretty much was law, though on the plus side he did mean well for the Yugoslav people, as they enjoyed a very high standard of living and were much happier than any Western capitalist nation.
I would love to see these men on Netflix's "how to become a tyrant." Unfortunately, Netflix doesn't have the balls to criticize dictators who were friends of the United States.
Afwerki, while he may be a dictator, is not a cruel dictator. Afwerki is one of the main reasons why the IMF and the USA have not been able to penetrate Eritrea. They are one of the most sovereign nations on earth.
I only know about the last guy because the next two guys after him didn't even last a year before Galtieri, the guy responsible for the Falklands War, took power and even that guy didn't last a whole year lol.
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.
You forgot general Zia ul haq who ruled Pakistan in the 1970s to the early 80s for 11 years. He forced Islam on the entire public turning the country into the Islamic republic it is today. People were publicly tortured for having sexual relations outside of marriage. Alcohol probation was a big thing in his days, you could get life imprisonment for drinking alcohol and music was banned all across the country. All of his political opponents are in jail and he exiled poets who wrote against him. He also banned the sari (yes the dress Indian women wear). All the film studios in Lahore were shut down as was every thing else artsy. He wasn’t as murderous as some of the people on that list but he did change the country in a way that it still hasn’t rebuilt. He also once banned a porno magazine because one of their articles compared his teeth to the teeth of a goat. Fortunately for us somebody decided to blow his jet up.
The more astonished points in all those cases of dictatorships is the facts that those peoples next to those monsters ( with the exception of one we see here) won't put a stop from the beginning on those very cruelty beasts. Why?
Philosophical Fish where on earth did you learn Spanish? This happens to be an area of expertise of mine. Believe me, the word "Castillo" has no "L" sound in it. neither does Trujillo. Hell, I even changed the spelling of my own first name as a child so that my friends would stop saying "Bee". The more you protest, the dumber you sound. Seriously.
Very simple - The "L" sound is NOT MADE when you pronounce that word. "LL" in Spanish is a "Y" sound in English, not a "LY" or anything else. There is no "faint sound" or anything else. Proper pronunciation is not open to interpretation. You are saying it wrong. Since you asked who I am to make such a determination, I'm a person with a Bachelor's degree in Spanish literature and a Masters in Latin American Affairs who worked as a translator for the Department of Defense, who grew up in Puerto Rico, later lived in Spain and served all over South America. I've spent more of my life in Spanish-speaking countries than I have in the US. I taught Spanish grammar and syntax classes for Area Studies students at an institution within the DoD and I currently conduct business in Spanish for a Fortune 500 defense contractor. I also speak Portuguese and Russian, but Spanish is the one I've been speaking since I could walk. ...Just because you asked.
Most working people in Capitalist nations don’t know geography and history, who woulda guessed. Probably not due to them skimping us on education or shoving propaganda in our faces to consider everyone outside our nation irrelevant or useless until it fits a narrative or anything. But the best part is that we are sure happy to shout about all these countries but try to get them to point to them on a map or explain the situations and they can’t do it but the socialists can. Probably just a coincidence.
Real shabby of you to mention Trujillo, in the Dominican Republic, but not "Papa Doc", and "Baby Doc" Jean Claude Duvaiier, in Haiti. Both halves of the island of Hispaniola have seen bloodshed.
I seriously miss Francisco Franco, from Spain, in that list. Foreigners tend to forget he was a dictator who ruled Spain for 40 years and that under his regime an estimated of between 100,000 to 200,000 people were killed off. No international tribunal ever took care of his atrocities in a blend of catholic fanatism and ultrapatriotic fascism, but also when "democracy" entered Spain, it was stated an amnesty to all the crimes of the regime. While dozens thousands bodies are still disappeared and their families ask for help to the government to recover them and give them proper burial, the heir of Franco's supporters even laugh at them in political campaigns from the Popular Party (conservatives, and originated by the same people that supported the dictator) and the human rights in Spain, in 2015, have reverted almost to Franco's regime levels, with the "gag law", in which basically you go to jail for just speaking out your opinion on any Spanish institution (if not favorable). It's being used to supress protests and ruin the lives of anyone who even tries to criticize.
Yes, Pablo Picasso made a painting in response to that bombing... Guernica. In a way without the union between Franco and Hitler, my grandpa wouldn't had moved to Cuba, where he met my grandma, thus my mother wouldn't had been born. In other words, without Franco and Hitler, I wouldn't be here. O_O History is so weird.

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.
👍🏻
People have heard of these guys...
Disturbing....just doesn't cover it. Brilliant video, Simon.
Did you forget Dick Cheyny and George Bush senior & junior.
You forgot Churchill!
You forgot general Zia ul haq who ruled Pakistan in the 1970s to the early 80s for 11 years. He forced Islam on the entire public turning the country into the Islamic republic it is today. People were publicly tortured for having sexual relations outside of marriage. Alcohol probation was a big thing in his days, you could get life imprisonment for drinking alcohol and music was banned all across the country. All of his political opponents are in jail and he exiled poets who wrote against him. He also banned the sari (yes the dress Indian women wear). All the film studios in Lahore were shut down as was every thing else artsy. He wasn’t as murderous as some of the people on that list but he did change the country in a way that it still hasn’t rebuilt. He also once banned a porno magazine because one of their articles compared his teeth to the teeth of a goat. Fortunately for us somebody decided to blow his jet up.
At the time you uploaded the video, Park Geun Hye, Park Chung Hee’s daughter was president of Democratic South Korea before her arrest in 2017.
Top 10 Brutal Dictators americans Never Heard Of.
Still don't think any of them remotely approach Pol Pot's insanity.
Mátyás Rákosi anyone? (chairman of the People's Republic of Hungary before 1956 broke out)
The 10th and 16th Presidents of the Philippines
i can’t believe all the work you put into ALL these videos
Juan Marìa Bordaberry was not the dictator himself, but the military junta, who was always changing.
I wouldn’t put Tito in the boat as brutal. A dictator, yes, brutal, no..
:)
Why do you have an image on Tito in your background??
brutal isn't a word anyone would really describe him with...
The more astonished points in all those cases of dictatorships is the facts that those peoples next to those monsters ( with the exception of one we see here) won't put a stop from the beginning on those very cruelty beasts. Why?
Yeah, it's strange when you agree with organizations like Al-Qaida. But it happens.
Trujillo is pronounced "tru-HEE-yo", not "tru-HEE-ho"
+Crome267 yes, I understand that is how the morons like to pronounce it.
You seem knowing this Trujillo... Is there anything you want say about Trujillo?
Philosophical Fish no, it really isn't. there is no "L" sound in that name. the pronunciation I posted earlier is correct.
Philosophical Fish where on earth did you learn Spanish? This happens to be an area of expertise of mine. Believe me, the word "Castillo" has no "L" sound in it. neither does Trujillo. Hell, I even changed the spelling of my own first name as a child so that my friends would stop saying "Bee".
The more you protest, the dumber you sound. Seriously.
Very simple - The "L" sound is NOT MADE when you pronounce that word. "LL" in Spanish is a "Y" sound in English, not a "LY" or anything else. There is no "faint sound" or anything else. Proper pronunciation is not open to interpretation. You are saying it wrong.
Since you asked who I am to make such a determination, I'm a person with a Bachelor's degree in Spanish literature and a Masters in Latin American Affairs who worked as a translator for the Department of Defense, who grew up in Puerto Rico, later lived in Spain and served all over South America. I've spent more of my life in Spanish-speaking countries than I have in the US. I taught Spanish grammar and syntax classes for Area Studies students at an institution within the DoD and I currently conduct business in Spanish for a Fortune 500 defense contractor. I also speak Portuguese and Russian, but Spanish is the one I've been speaking since I could walk.
...Just because you asked.
I have a list of former theater directors and producers I would like to add to the “Dishonorable Mentions”...
Yeah, Simon, derp dederp dederp, why should any of us stunted proles have ever heard of Tajikistan?
wait thats a real place?
Most working people in Capitalist nations don’t know geography and history, who woulda guessed. Probably not due to them skimping us on education or shoving propaganda in our faces to consider everyone outside our nation irrelevant or useless until it fits a narrative or anything. But the best part is that we are sure happy to shout about all these countries but try to get them to point to them on a map or explain the situations and they can’t do it but the socialists can. Probably just a coincidence.
Real shabby of you to mention Trujillo, in the Dominican Republic, but not "Papa Doc", and "Baby Doc" Jean Claude Duvaiier, in Haiti. Both halves of the island of Hispaniola have seen bloodshed.
No Papa Doc?
1:26 Looks like that best friend is Korea's Brutus
I seriously miss Francisco Franco, from Spain, in that list. Foreigners tend to forget he was a dictator who ruled Spain for 40 years and that under his regime an estimated of between 100,000 to 200,000 people were killed off. No international tribunal ever took care of his atrocities in a blend of catholic fanatism and ultrapatriotic fascism, but also when "democracy" entered Spain, it was stated an amnesty to all the crimes of the regime. While dozens thousands bodies are still disappeared and their families ask for help to the government to recover them and give them proper burial, the heir of Franco's supporters even laugh at them in political campaigns from the Popular Party (conservatives, and originated by the same people that supported the dictator) and the human rights in Spain, in 2015, have reverted almost to Franco's regime levels, with the "gag law", in which basically you go to jail for just speaking out your opinion on any Spanish institution (if not favorable). It's being used to supress protests and ruin the lives of anyone who even tries to criticize.
+Jesus Alonso Wasn't this the guy who actually had the Nazis bomb a village during the Spanish Civil War?
Yes, Pablo Picasso made a painting in response to that bombing... Guernica. In a way without the union between Franco and Hitler, my grandpa wouldn't had moved to Cuba, where he met my grandma, thus my mother wouldn't had been born. In other words, without Franco and Hitler, I wouldn't be here. O_O History is so weird.
Nothing wrong with killing communists.
ThePatriach!
Everything right with killing patriarchs as long as they're not orthodox priests.
No one talks about franco. We always see people talk about hitler and mussolini
I've heard of 4 of them, 2,3,5, and 7.
I'm actually kinda surprised that François Duvallier wasn't on the list.
