The Most Evil Men in History

When we attempt to think of the most evil man to have ever lived most people tend to jump to one person, that being Adolf Hitler. However, throughout the ages there have been many men who could be considered to have been just as evil as Hitler, some perhaps were even worse.

Attila The Hun: Attila was Khan of the Huns. He is remembered as the epitome of cruelty and rapacity.

Bad King John: He murdered his nephew, inspired the legend of Robin Hood and caused the creation of Magna Carta.

Caligula: The Roman emperor’s reign is a legendary frenzy of lunacy, murder, and perverse sexuality.

Francisco Pizarro: Francisco Pizarro was one of the European explorers who went to South America to colonize it and had natives murdered so he could plunder their gold and silver.

Hitler: Adolf Hitler tried to mold Germany and a large portion of the 20th century into his own twisted design. Luckily for posterity he failed but not before destroying the lives of millions of people.

Idi Amin: Idi Amin rose to become a brutal and utterly ruthless dictator who committed atrocities on his people.

Ivan the Terrible: Ivan IV of Russia, also know as Ivan the Terrible, was the Grand Duke of Muscovy from 1533 to 1547 and was the first ruler of Russia to assume the title of Tsar. He was also a devout theist.

Joseph Stalin: Perhaps 7 million or more people were shot with a total suppression of about 50 million under uncle Joe Stalin. One of the great tyrant’s of the 20th century and indeed any century.

Nero: He brought the entire Roman Empire to the brink of collapse with his legendary excesses and cruelty.

Pol Pot: Responsible for the Killing Fields and Year Zero Pol Pot waged a gruesome war on his own population.

Rasputin: He was an uneducated peasant who gained a reputation as a faith healer. His strange behaviour and incredible influence over the imperial family made him notorious and his death made him a legend.

Torquemada: Torquemada tortured and burned thousands of innocent Spaniards and expelled Spains Jewish population. Thomas De Torquemada was head of the Spanish inquisition and was renowned for his cruelty.

Vlad the Impaler: Vlad is best known for the legends of the exceedingly cruel punishments he imposed during his reign and for serving as the primary inspiration for the vampire main character in popular Dracula novel.

Panama Drinks the Chinese Kool-Aid:

Panama has cut long-standing diplomatic ties with Taiwan and established relations with China instead. David Lee, Taiwan's foreign minister, said Panama “yielded to Beijing because of economic benefits, did a diplomatic turn in a very unfriendly way and deceived the government of the Republic of China (Taiwan) until the last minute." 

Ouch. Lee added that Taiwan was also cutting diplomatic ties with Panama to safeguard Taiwan’s “sovereignty and dignity." It was exactly one year ago that Taiwanese President Tsai Ing-wen visited Panama on her first overseas trip as president. Now just 20 countries around the world maintain full diplomatic ties with Taipei instead of Beijing, and Panama is the latest to have switched sides.

China has intensified its economic investment in Panama, which is of course, home to the economically vital Panama Canal. Given China's rapid growth as an economic and political superpower, it has been increasingly easy for Beijing to throw around its diplomatic weight. 

Panama did not say why it changed its diplomatic allegiance, but it has been increasing its economic cooperation with China in recent years. The Panama Canal is a vital shipping route, and access to the eastern coasts of both South America and the US is essential for China’s global trade ambitions, including its One Belt One Road initiative.
