When you think of Europe and the dictatorship, the first thing that comes to mind is German National Socialism. But the continent has seen other coercive regimes come and go throughout its history, which are highlighted in this series. The Oberists from Greece make the start.

1. The Regime of the Colonels in Greece

In April 1967, fifteen colonels staged a coup and installed a dictatorship in Greece. This dictatorship was the last stage of a deep social division that had already begun in the Greek civil war.

2. The Era Salazar in Portgal

The dictatorship in Portugal was the longest right-wing dictatorship in Europe in the 20th century. For 48 years, one personality had it all: António Oliveira Salazar.
