9. Ismail Enver Pasha
Ottoman Empire
Years in Power: 1913-1918
Ismail Enver Pasha, a war minister, de facto Commander-in-Chief, and a member of a triumvirate, including Talaat Pasha and Djemal Pasha, ranks 9th in our list of most evil and hated dictators of all time. He led the Ottoman Empire during the Balkan Wars and World War I. He was responsible for the Armenian Genocide in which 1.5 million Armenians lost their lives due to an extermination program incredibly similar to the Holocaust. Hundreds of thousands were also forcibly expelled from the region during the period 1915-23. He was dismissed by the Sultan in 1918 and was killed in an attack by the Red Army in 1922.
