dictadura

English translation of dictadura

dictatorship

The Spanish word 'dictadura' translates to 'dictatorship' in English. A dictatorship is a political system where power is exercised by a single ruler who has total control and authority, often obtained and maintained by force. It is not a democratic system, as the ruler's power is not subject to control by the people or their representatives. In a dictatorship, individual freedoms and liberties are usually suppressed, and dissent is often met with punishment.
