I have always thought Hitler was the worst dictator.He killed over a hundred thousand Jews when he was a Jew himself.He was a big part of the reason WW2 started.The Jews he did not have killed then and there,were sent to concetration camps.That is my opinion.According to the history book I used last year said Stalin was the worst dictator.I would think he was the second worst.Stalin reign of terror was known as the Great Purge.He killed millins of people and whatever was left were starved.I hope you like my opinions.

Idi wasn't bad, but Pol Pot's story is truly incredible. And the saddest thing is that many of the people responsible for what happened in Cambodia got clean away. (Not that Idi ever paid the price properly for what he did.)

I think that everyone had some really good answers, but I think that Pol Pot has to be right up there as a pretty horrible dictator. He was pretty insane, not to mention rather paranoid. He was killing people because of the things he "thought" they did. I am thinking that adding mental illness into the stew of being power hungry and evil has to make you pretty bad.

Fairly obvious really - the wanker Hitler. 6,000,000 innocent victims slaughtered within 6 years gets my vote. If only I could have pulled the trigger in 1933, the world would have been a better place. Certainly Coventry where I was born.

Mao Ze-Dong (China, 1958-61 and 1966-69)
49,000,000 ("great leap forward" and "cultural revolution")
The Chinese cultural revolution caused the death of 30 million people (source: the current Chinese government), but many died of hunger. Stalin is responsible for the death of 17 million Russians, but only half a million were killed by his order.

Stalin. cause he was paranoid and massacred his own people. But there have bben a fair few mad dictators throughout the ages. Its like the ordinary people like to be overlorded by murderous megalomaniac demented freaks.
