11 Of The Cruelest Tyrants From History
Content: A booming rubber industry was a lasting legacy of this permitted slaughter. Maximilien Robespierre (France)
A lesson that we can learn from Maximilien Robespierre is that, up to a point, if it seems that what are you doing is noble enough and benefits the country to significant extent, people may judge you more kindly. But history isn’t kind. Robespierre was a highly principled leader, and arguably one of the more enlightened of the European leaders of the time. He went far to secure France ‘s reputation as a forward-thinking state. His ideas may have placed him as l’Incorruptible, but his actions cemented his place as a tyrant. The systematic killing of his enemies in order to realize his ideals is quite alarming. The person who can easily justify radical and widespread murder is the person that should be the most feared. Vlad III (Romania)
We shall round off the list with another tyrant with a great nickname, this time as Vlad the Impaler; who was the inspiration for one of fiction’s most famous villains.
