A military dictatorship is an authoritarian form of government in which political power is held by the military.
Structure
The state is controlled by a collegiate body that is composed by various people belonging to the high ranks of the army and is under the control a senior officer or supreme commander of the armed forces. This type of collegiate body applies over the country the martial laws.
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.
Characteristic
There are vatious characteristic that various military dictatorships have in common. One of them is that it starts after a coup d'etat by replacing the old government (only Saddam Hussein's regime didn't start with a coup d'etat). Very often, it justifies itself with excuse of "protecting" the country from "dangerous ideologies" and defines civilian politicians as "corrupt" and "incompetent".
