25 Most Cruel Rulers In History

Idi Amin

General Idi Amin overthrew the elected official Milton Obote and declared himself president of Uganda in 1971. He launched a ruthless regime for over eight years, expelling 70,000 Asians, massacring 300,000 civilians, and bringing out the economic collapse of the country. He was overthrown in 1979, but he never answered for his crimes, living out the rest of his days in Saudi Arabia.
