A. No, not at all accurate. The Russian government enjoys public support as it has become more authoritarian. Hitler enjoyed a great deal of public support, as did Mussolini and Tojo before WW2 and during the beginning of the war.

Why did some European countries have democratic governments, but some countries had authoritarian governments?
Q. Why did Great Britain and France have democratic governments in the 19th century, but Eastern Europen countries such as Germany, Austria-Hungary and Russia were governed by authoritarian regimes?
Asked by anonyme - Sun Dec 13 21:41:36 2009 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments
A. Because World War 1 caused many of the monarchies in Europe to fall, and caused a lot of social reform. The countries on the side of America and England tended to emulate them, and the countries on the side of Austria and Germany had a huge vacuum of power and were very vulnerable to dictators seizing large amounts of authority.

A. An authoritarian government is a dictatorship, where one person or a small group of people are in control, opposition is outlawed and there is no respect for civil rights. A democractic government is one where people have the right to vote, freedom of speech, freedom of association and assembly, and other rights like equality before the law.

A. Authoritarian governments limit the ability of the people they govern to participate in the political process; this (general) definition does not indicate whether authoritarian governments enjoy public support. If by public support you're asking whether the government is popular, it may be. The Chinese government has been authoritarian for decades, but it has enjoyed reasonable popular support. Hitler's government enjoyed wide support from the German population in the 1930s. Mugabe's government in Zimbabwe was reasonably popular in the 1980s, despite its increasingly authoritarian tendencies.

A. The only possible justification for an authoritarian government that i can think of would be speed of action. In times of crisis, disaster, and war, authoritarian governments are able to respond and react much quicker. (Hence the reason we have martial law, and why the president has certain temporary authoritarian powers during a war). The flip side is that the population loses all its rights, and once corruption sets in (which it always does), the whole point of the nation is to meet the desires of a very few individuals. Everyone else is basically a slave.

A. Very subtle difference, an Authoritarian Government is ruled by one person or a small group of people whereas a Dictatorship is ruled solely by the will of one person. Iran would be a good example of an Authoritarian Government. They are ruled by a complex system of religious leaders and a largely ceremonial political head of state. North Korea would be a good example of a Dictatorship. They are ruled by the will of Kim Jong Il alone. Aside from Jong Il, no North Korean has any power not given to him directly from this one person. Hope this helps.
