Talk:Military dictatorship

5/1 Revision

Mostly I cleaned up grammar and miscellaneous wording stuff. However, I did delete the sentence:
Few Communist regimes are military dictatorships, and controlling the military so that it cannot challenge the party has been a persistent concern of these regimes.
Not because it was innacurate or controversial, but because it is basically repeated later in the article and it destroys the flow of the article where it was.

Latin America and Cold War

The end of the Cold War didn't had much to do with the end of military dictatorships in Latin America. By the time Gorbachev started his government, there weren't that many dictators in Latin America and the fact the remaining few became democracies had a lot more to do with internal problems than external. For example, in Brazil the slow democratization process started way back in the 70s.

Possible false info?

Did something happen recently to Canada, or is this info false?

Italy and San Marino

The Mussolini regime was not a military dictatorship; and calling the Fatti di Rovereta episone in San Marino a "military dictatoship" seems ridiculous.--MiguelMadeira (talk) 02:27, 28 March 2021 (UTC)

"Era of Trumpism"

So apparently someone added the USA from 2017-2021 as military dictatorship. This seems incorrect to me since Trump was democratically elected. The Congress/Parliament remained functional during his administration and opposition wasn't oppressed, nor there has been a national state of emergency to empower military rule.

I would like to know other opinions so we can get to a conclusion.
