How to Deal with a Dictator

         Powerful, authoritative, demanding, corrupt, deceiving, oppressive, all words to describe a dictator. A dictator oppresses a county and it becomes a struggle to live within. It takes more than one to go against a dictator, and even with a group, it may seem almost impossible, yet there are some possible ways to regain power from a dictator. Some of these ways include forming an embargo, organising a revolution to replace the dictator, start a rebellion/uprising or by a benevolent dictator gaining power.
         An embargo is when a particular country is restricted supplies and foreign imports. The United Nations (UN) have begun to impose an embargo on North Korea. The UN want the North Korean government to realise that they are not going to get any support from the outside. They hope that the North Korea government will not persist with their threats, as they need the imports to sustain their economy. A revolution is when a particular group attempt to go in and overthrow the government. President, communist and dictator to Romania, Nicolae Ceausescu, was brought down from power and killed in a revolution during December of 1989. A rebellion is when a group go against the government in search of change. The Italian resistance movement overthrew Mussolini towards the end of World War 2 . A Benevolent dictator is a leader that fights to remove an oppressive dictator for the good of their country and replace with a new person who makes decisions that benefit the greater good, not for personal gain. Armies supported Mustafa Kamal Ataturk with an attack on the Ottoman empire to remove the ruling oppressive dictator. Once he had removed the dictator there and assumed power,he used his large amounts of power to implicate laws that gave women more rights and that promoted the abolishment of religious discrimination and segregation.
          A malevolent dictator can be coerced peacefully by economic sanctions, alternatively the threat of violence or at the other extreme through violence by the suppressed people and/or its allies. Some of these tactics to remove a dictator out of power work better than others and none of these ways are guaranteed to work. People under the rule of a dictator are in such desperation to be free, they feel they need to at least try to be rid of the oppression, even if trying costs them their lives.
