Italian dictator Benito Mussolini suffered a lifetime of expulsions: first from school for knifing fellow pupils, then from the Socialist party and finally from the Fascist party that had brought him to power.

In 1937, German dictator and failed artist Adolf Hitler proposed that popular modern artists such as Otto Dix, Max Beckmann and George Grosz be dealt with under a programme for sterilising the insane.

For 36 years, General Francisco Franco ruled Spain without allowing any opposition or criticism.
