Welcome to www.dictatorofthemonth.com, bringing you the greatest and smallest dictators, autocrats and monarchs of the world since 1900! We feature biographies and picture galleries of both historical and current leaders- from the more obscure Maumoon Gayoom of the Maldives to the most notorious like Joseph Stalin of the Soviet Union. To rate each dictator a scorecard system has been developed; although somewhat subjective, this system will help visitors learn about each dictator. We follow up on leads submitted by YOU, the reader- submit your vote by e-mail and watch the ratings change!

Enjoy your stay and check back often- we make updates and additions frequently!
