Why you are in favor of democracy and against dictatorship?
The best definition of democracy is: "By the people,for the people and of the people"
Because in a democracy people can express their opinions fearlessly. There is active participation by the citizens and they can stand for any post i.e President&Prime Minister. They can speak in any language they want they can write anything in newspaper they want and can change the govt. by vote if they do not serve the people well.Overall democracy is freedom of the citizens.
But in a dictatorship is a type of Govt. in which ordinary citizens have no say in the decision making process. Instead, the head has the absolute power in the country. This can sometimes lead to decisionsbeingmade against the wishes of the majority.Over herethe wishes of the ruler are the law.
How are peoples views taken into account in dictatorship?
That's the whole point of a dictatorship. Peoples views are NOT taken into account. The dictator dictates the laws they he/she wants. End of story!!!!
In dictatorships the press is often silenced, or only allowed to publish what the dictator wants the public to read. People who try and publish other material are 'shut-down' and/or locked up.
Conversely, the word 'democracy' has it roots in Classical Greece, and means the 'rule or will of the people', ; 'Demos', people and 'Cratos' to rule. Peoples opinions and views are taken into account and the press can publish freely any material its likes. Hence the political leaders of a democratic nation have to make laws that reflect these views and opinions. People are not silenced.

Was Castro a good dictator for Cuba?
Fulgencio Batista rose to power in a coup, and cultivated the friendship of Meyer Lansky, a mobster from America. Under him, the ownership of land in Cuba shifted to non-Cubans, particularly Lansky's "friends" in the casino business. Most of the farm land was under the control of American corporations interested in cheap sugar. Batista was corrupt and corporate greed fed that corruption.
So, at least in the opinion of most historians, the answer is no. Batista was not a good ruler for Cuba.

What factors enabled dictators like Hitler and Mussolini to gain control over Germany and Italy?
A dictatorship can only be formed in a democratic country when there are severe problems that seem unsolvable. Here is what Benito Mussolini and his fascists took advantage of in order to gain power in Italy:
A. After World War One, Italy found itself in economic distress. Its already low standards of living declined further;
B. Ruinous inflation drove the prices of goods extremely high;
C. Taxes were applied to help pay for the costs of WW1;
D. There was a fear of Communism in Italy; and
E. The Italian government was weak. There was a lack of a democratic tradition in Italy.
Mussolini's fascists promised to solve all these problems, and by appealing to the peoples' desire for self esteem through nationalism, the fascists were able to gain control of Italy.

Because everyone noticed that Hitler looked like Chaplin, so he thought he might as well make a protest film about the Nazi regime.

How did Napoleon Bonaparte become the dictator and then the Emperor of France?
He was first named the First Consul for life. When that plateau had been reached it was a relatively easy step to advance himself to the rank of Emperor of the French. He made a failed but valiant effort to become the Emperor of Europe. That course of action failed.
That would be Omar al-Bashir, he was charged with genocide.
AnswerAssuming you define "powerful" as "ruling over the most people" or as "militarily stong", then there are three metrics to measure this by: (a) ruled the largest percentage of the people then on the earth, (b) ruled the absolute largest number of people, or (c) controlled the most powerful countryProbably the most powerful dictator in terms of (a) would have been the Mongol Khans during the Mongol Empire. Specifically, Ogedei Khan, presiding over the Mongol Empire 1229-1241. During this period, the Mongol Empire covered about 20% of the world's landmass and about 40% of the world's population.
As far as (b) goes, I would currently vote for Josef Stalin, presiding over the USSR of 250 million people. Subsequent USSR leaders could not be classified as dictators, as they ruled only through consensus of the Politburo. Similarly, I would not classify Mao Tse-tung as a true dictator, as people have consistently underestimated the extent to which Communist China is run by the Communist Party bureaucracy, and not single individuals.
For (c), Ogedei Khan wins again, as the Mongol Hordes were by far the most formidable fighting force of the time (and, relatively speaking, no country since has had such an imbalance of fighting power). In modern times, Stalin wins handily over Mao, as the USSR under Stalin was significantly more powerful than China under Mao.
