Even though the government has great power over the nation (power that is obtained through the violation of human rights and with strong indoctrination through a fervent [[cult of personality]]), it should be known that these types of governments can easily break down. In fact, it often abandons power only under the pressure of an already ongoing or imminent popular uprising.

The term originated in Spain, and thus military juntas are most common in Latin American countries (but military juntas have also existed in Africa, Asia, and Europe as well.)
