Absolute Power

Dictators become a bigger threat when they take power, but their goal of absolute power remains the same. Once a dictator takes hold, they employ tactics such as fear, propaganda, imprisonment, torture and murder to keep citizens in line and government officials loyal. The use of these tactics help to build their alliances. Dictators need strong alliances to strengthen their hold on power. Adolf Hitler woos the elites to oust a democratic system. Saddam Hussein and Mobutu Sese Seko engage international alliances to showcase their personal leverage in the global community.
