The Craziest Dictator in Modern History

Описание: That's right, it's time for your yearly dictator video! In 1971, a Ugandan general named Idi Amin launched a coup to seize total control of his country. Over the next 8 years, he unleashed so much terror on his country that he became known as the Butcher of Uganda. And when he wasn't decapitating his enemies or eating human flesh, Idi Amin was busy ruining his nation's economy, helping terrorists hijack a plane, and giving himself so many ridiculous titles that his initials were longer than the alphabet. And when everyone finally got sick of Idi Amin and managed to overthrow him, he found a way to escape justice and even attempted to take back his country years later. Say what you want about the man, he believed in himself.
