Most Evil Modern day (post WW1) Regimes .. Ever

BuilderPlumber

With all this ISIS/ISIL stuff, we all know that this organisation is truly evil. But is it one of the worst regimes to come about in modern times? What would you consider the top most evil regimes of modern times (1918 to date)?

Along with ISIS/ISIL, I have to say the Khmer Rouge, the Nazis, the Taliban and - when in a certain frame of mind - Ceaucescu's Romania, Milosevic's Yugoslavia and North Korea.

The Hutu lead government that carried out the Rwandan genocide deserve a mention. For the absolute brutality of how it was carried out alone.

Er Nazi Germany, then again Communist China, Stalin era Soviet Union and Cambodia/Kampuchea under the Kamer Rouge, Uganda under Idi Amin, South Africa under Apartheid rule all in with a shout.

If measured by scale Stalin or Mao would probably win rather than Nazi Germany.

Definitely North Korea. There are concentration camps in that country similar or worse to Hitler's ones with 100,000+ people inside in them

Duvalier father and son in Haiti right up there.


Saparmurat Niyazov in Turkmenistan also deserves a mention.

Totalitarian, repressive, corrupt, generally evil.

But also a touch of class at times, such as naming months after aspects of his own life.

I wonder if the Nazi's won in WW2, how would things have panned out?

Germany holds all the ground it conquered Hitler dies eventually Another dictator would take over, probably a little bit less evil Eventually, we would have one currency, we would all learn German, and be answerable to Germany The holocaust would be written into history as a fair warfare tactic Eventually Germany would lose its power (just like the british empire and the USSR) and the different autonomous countries would break away, albeit with strong links to their former oppressor

So basically no change, except the Holocaust and mass genocide would be totally acceptable as a fair act of war. IMO.

The nazis had there eyes on proper movie-style world domination, The Americas and all so honestly god knows how it would have worked out.

To the OP I'd say Stalins Russia, nazi Germany or North Korea. I'v a sneaking suspicion that North Korea is magnitudes worse than we think. Looking at history and what happened in similar situations and then at how closed off the North is I shudder to think of what actually happens to the human beings unfortunate enough to be born there.

Dunno about "Best Korea" its probably as bad as Nazi Germany in the sickness meter on par with DarwinAward State in the crazy east.

As it stands Stalin Probably holds the all time High Score for mass murder and genocide in the world. Aint noone gonna break that score unless theyre stupid enough to start World War 3 along with a nuclear exchange.

Pleasantly surprised at lack of "America" so far...

Someone's bound to say Israel soon and then this entire thread will be derailed and eventually locked.

bombing japan with a nuke would have been politically different to dropping on on berlin.
Given the power in the states is of european decent that would have never happened , imo of course.

The Japanese in China before and during WW2. Estimates of civilian deaths of over 20 million by some authors. Biological warfare experimentation on civilians. In fact pretty much Japan in WW2 anywhere it occupied.

Good point, Imperial Japan's crimes are sometimes neglected. Unit 731 and Nanjing being two that immediately come to mind.

I remember reading an article (I think it was on the BBC) of how the Americans found it easier to bring themselves to nuke the Japanese than the Nazis, because they weren't white.

I've read elsewhere that the Americans were somewhat concerned that the bomb would be a dud and fail to go off, and they were less concerned about the Japanese ability to analyse and replicate the failed bomb than the German ability to do so.
